WordPress is planning to raise its minimum PHP version requirement and if all goes according to plan, we will have a required minimum of PHP 7.2+ for December 2019.
Alain says: “Few WordPress plugin developers currently know how to make the best use of the language features that PHP 7.2+ provides. That’s why I worked on a new open source plugin boilerplate that provides you with a robust, strictly typed OOP framework and incorporates a lot of applied best practices.”
In this session, he will introduce this new boilerplate and go into the details of why this can improve your plugin code and reduce its maintenance cost in the long run.
Alain contributes to Make WordPress core, WP-CLI and Polyglots teams, and is a MeetUp Organiser.
