Nikolay is a long-time WordPress core contributor, lives in Bulgaria, works for Automattic, blogs at extrapolate.me, and has a bear.

Nikolay will be sharing his technical knowledge in his presentation “To OOP or not to OOP”.

Some love it, some hate it, few understand it. Some won’t develop with WordPress because it doesn’t use enough of it, some won’t develop with WordPress again if it did. Object-oriented programming is by far the most widely spread programming paradigm, WordPress is by far the mostly spread web publishing system. In this talk we will see how the values of the two align and what can be the place of OOP in the future of WordPress.
