This course is going to focus on the very basics of plugin development. I am going to assume you have never written a plugin before and take you from the very beginning. If you have written plugins before, then this course could also be extremely valuable to you as I’m going to cover in-depth the fundamentals for plugin development, especially adhering to WordPress coding standards.
Unlike my Writing Your First Plugin Basic to Advanced series, we will not be writing just one plugin, but writing a series of small plugins and also looking at a number of live plugins written by various developers that illustrate best practices.
This course is open to all premium subscribers to Pippin’s Plugins and memberships start at just $6 per month.

thanks You Pippins. Looking forward to this. I love it.
Are you going to talk about how you take an idea for a plugin and break it programmable pieces? The ‘getting started’ part is what I find challenging.
Yes! I’ll cover that near the end once we’ve got a sample plugin or two put together.
Cool! Looking forward to it.
Hi Pippin,
Cool offer!
By the way, I want to let you know something interesting…
I just started learning WP Plugin Development about 1 and half month ago by reading and following what you’ve shared in this blog.
My first plugin was created within 1 hours (since I have basic PHP skill). Your method of teaching is really easy to understand. That’s why I can easily created my first plugin!
For your information, I’ve sold the plugin with price $7 to my subscribers and earn about $500!
Right now, I’m developing my 2nd plugin and again I really want to thank you to the inputs that you’ve shared on this blog.
I shall take your course soon!
That’s fantastic! It’s really awesome to hear a success story like that
