Object Oriented Programming, with Alena Holligan

Most modern web applications and frameworks are built on the principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP),. Laravel itself is object-oriented.

But many of us learn about OOP bit by bit as we're coding, not in any formal way.

In this episode we talk to Alena Holligan, veteran PHP programmer, OOP implementer, and educator about what exactly OOP is and how a deeper knowledge of OOP can help us.
