- WordPress Custom Menu Separator by Tom McFarlin
- Single Post Meta Manager by Tom McFarlin
- Settings Page – Better Implementation by Alain Schlesser
- Tag Swapper by Tonya
- Fulcrum by Tonya
Laravel’s Illuminate codebase is a beautifully crafted example of OOP and clean, quality coding. It’s more advanced, but well worth a tour through the code to see how wonderful OOP can be.
Symfony is another well-crafted and architected codebase. Like Laravel, it’s both OOP and clean coding.
Keep It Simple, Stupid (KISS) - the best kiss you'll get in code.
