Hello, I realized that merely ‘welding’ themes and plugins and css together is a bit basic for my designs, and that I need to learn to program. I was wondering, you say that EE 4 is object oriented language, right now I don’t know enough to figure out you programmed it in which one ? I don’t suppose it’s still in full php like EE3 ?
Thanks, as usual 😉

Hi Sebastien,
Object Oriented Programming (OOP for short) is the concept of how you code, rather than the language used.
EE3 and EE4 (& WordPress for that matter) are built using PHP & MySQL (with some HTML, CSS & JS)
EE3 is was build using procedural code. EE4 is heavily Object Orientated.
It depends on what it is your trying to achieve but I would recommend learning how WordPress themes work before diving into EE code. In EE4 the events are Custom Post Types (CPT’s) so are themed in the same way WordPress themes your regular Posts. SO without some knowledge of the foundations you’ll end up chasing your tail.
The Codex is a good place to find alot of answers although can be a little overwhelming to begin with.
I also recommend reading through THIS tutorial.
