Plugin Development Demystified

For many WordPress users, even seasoned PHP developers, creating new plugins for WordPress seems like a daunting task. After talking about specific best practices in plugin development last year, this presentation will take a step back to show attendees how simple creating plugins for WordPress from the ground up can be by looking at the architecture of a WordPress plugin, from the basic concepts of registering actions and filters to more advanced concepts such as the creation of admin pages and registering shortcodes.

About Yannick

A tech enthusiast working in the modeling and simulation software industry, I have been blogging since 2003, started using WordPress in 2004 and published my first plugin, Link Library, in March 2005. Since then, I released six other plugins, all hosted on the official WordPress.org site. I absolutely love using WordPress to develop web sites and find PHP to be a most liberating language compared to more traditional languages such as C/C++.
