7,350 PointsWhy not use php namespace capabilities instead of long weird function names
like using:
<?php
namespace treehouse\wordpress;
function theme_styles(){}
?>

8,522 PointsI think it's very useful to do that, although it would require students to understand namespacing and the syntax of loading a namespaced function. Much like this
add_action('wp_enqueue_style', 'treehouse\\wordpress\\theme_styles');
Although I would prefer to use PHP magic NAMESPACE constant in place of that, so
add_action('wp_enqueue_style', __NAMESPACE__.'\\theme_styles');
This is explained much better by this StackOverflow post: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/63668/autoloading-namespaces-in-wordpress-plugins-themes-can-it-work
And I'm intrigue in using namespaced classes with hooks all grouped inside the class constructor
