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.
Some knowledge of PHP preferable. This talk is targeted to advanced users and up-and-coming coders.
About Yannick
Yannick Lefebvre is 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++. Follow @ylefebvre on Twitter.
