The WordPress short code API is one that plugin developers use a lot. Short codes are used for kinds of things: gallerys, related post lists, purchase buttons, alert messages, etc. Whether your plugin uses them or not, every single plugin developer will write at least one short code. This part of Plugin Development 101 will walk you through how to create short codes in your plugins.

Good intro for shortcodes. Just one question is there any way to go back in the video? If I miss something it seems like I have to watch the whole video again.
At the moment, no. It’s a really bad UX element that I’m going to try and fix asap.
Pippin, PLEASE do something about the videos! I can’t see any of the ones in this series past a few minutes
Love the site! Your explanations are excellent.
What happens? Do they stop playing? Are they not loading all the way?
