Master WordPress plugin development with this comprehensive course. Tailored for both developers and managers, it covers essential coding techniques and offers practical resources.
This course teaches you all about creating WordPress plugins, from the basics to some cool tricks known by pro coders. It's super easy to follow along, no PhD in PHP needed! Plus, you’ll get hands-on by using real source code to kickstart your own plugins.
Learn all the fundamentals and many of the not-so-obvious aspects of coding WordPress plugins for fun or profit.
You will get a through grounding in the fundamentals of creating WordPress plugins and be shown some of the not-so-obvious techniques that the master coders use.
If you are a WordPress developer that hasn't got to grips with the plugin system, this is for you.
If you are a PHP developer that knows a little WordPress and wants to get in to plugin development, this is for you.
If you are managing WordPress development and want to understand what it takes to get a plugin developed, this is for you.
Delivered by screen casts, you get to see a plugin being built up step by step from scratch with all the source code available for you to download to tinker with it and extend for your own plugin design. The shortcode section is recorded on Mac OS, the followup sections are on a mix of Windows 7 and Mac - development is entirely cross platform as you will see.
There is not a whole heap of complexity in the actual code base, it's all clear and straightforward, so you don't need PhD level PHP. The WordPress admin side isn't rocket surgery either. Most of the course outlines the structures & how things fit together, so you won't be bamboozled by complex arcane code that will leave you baffled.
The best bit is you get access to source code that is tried & tested and can act as the starting point for your own plugin - all free of charge and free to use for open source or commercial projects as you wish.
In theory you could blast through the shortcode module in just a morning and then refer to the videos as you create your own plugin in the afternoon - imagine, just one day to go from Joe Dev to WordPress Plugin Pro.

Come on board, cover the materials and ask questions. Questions will create FAQ's which create more videos! One of the team will pop by a couple of times a week to make sure questions are answered.
By the end of this course you will be able to create useful, functional WordPress plugins to agreed standards of quality & robustness

Even though this course was created back in 2013, it still gives the quick and appropriate idea. And, for me, as a procedural PHP coder, provided me plenty of other informations as well, so thank you.
Amazing course. Thouroughly loved it! I feel that even though this course was originally introduced in 2013, it has not lost anything in terms of value or relevancy.
