In this episode [Addison Berry](https://www.lullabot.com/who-we-are/addison-berry) is joined by [Lorna Jane Mitchell](https://lornajane.net/) and [Joe Fender](https://www.lullabot.com/about/joe-fender) to step outside of Drupal a little and look at the larger PHP landscape. We discuss what all this talk of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) means. Lorna Jane is a PHP and API specialist and has written several books about PHP, and specifically about OO in PHP. Joe is a developer on the Drupalize.Me team who has been digging into Drupal 8. With the two of them we explore what is going on in the PHP world and Drupal 8. Why does Drupal 8 use OOP? How is this going to effect Drupal developers?
