Clean code is more than just readable syntax—it’s about writing software that is easy to understand, maintain, and extend over time. In this session, we’ll explore practical principles and real-world techniques for writing clean, high-quality code in WordPress projects.
This talk will go beyond basics and focus on writing code that scales well in team environments and long-lived projects. We’ll cover topics such as meaningful naming, proper abstraction, reducing complexity, avoiding common anti-patterns, and structuring WordPress-specific code (themes, plugins, and custom functionality) for clarity and longevity.
Attendees will learn how small, intentional improvements in code style and architecture can dramatically improve debugging, collaboration, and future development speed. Whether you’re maintaining legacy code or building new features, this session will help you write code that other developers—and your future self—will thank you for.
