Often WordPress themes are not easy to change, maintain or fun to work on. This can rule WordPress out as a viable option for bespoke, non-trivial websites.
In this talk we’ll dive into how this happens and look at how we can benefit from software engineering techniques to help make your code easier to change. I’ll also show how using Lumberjack, a powerful MVC framework built on Timber, can be used to power-up your themes.
If you are a software engineer that also works in WordPress, or primarily using WordPress and looking to level up then this talk is for you.
