Creating WordPress Plugins: Fast start for PHP developers

Gain a solid foundation in WordPress plugin development with this comprehensive course. Whether you're a seasoned WordPress developer looking to master the plugin system, a PHP developer eager to dive into plugin creation, or a WordPress development manager seeking to understand the plugin development process, this course is designed for you.

Learn by watching a WordPress plugin being built from scratch, step-by-step, using clear screen casts. All source code is provided for download, allowing you to experiment, modify, and extend it for your own unique plugin designs. See how the development process works on both Windows and Mac, demonstrating a truly cross-platform approach.

This course avoids unnecessary complexity. The codebase is straightforward and easy to understand, requiring no advanced PHP expertise. You'll gain a clear understanding of the WordPress admin structure and how its components work together, eliminating confusion caused by obscure code.

The best part? You receive free, tried-and-tested source code that can serve as a powerful starting point for your own plugins – usable for both open source and commercial projects. Imagine being able to quickly prototype with the shortcode module (which can be mastered in a single morning!) and then build upon that foundation in the afternoon. Transform yourself from a beginner to a WordPress Plugin Pro in just one day!

The course is led by Nick McCloud of TheWebsiteSupportDesk.com, an experienced and entrepreneurial programmer with over 35 years of coding experience and 20 years of business ownership.
