Building Better Plugins for WordPress

Learn how to build bigger, better, and cleaner plugins for WordPress in this interactive workshop. Participants will follow along with a tutorial plugin as they learn how to build their plugins with a class, use actions and filters, properly attach JavaScript and CSS, save options to the database and get their plugin ready for translation. (~ 1 hour)

Participants will also learn how to add their own tables to the WordPress database, how to build their own forms in the WordPress dashboard and how to use Ajax from both the viewer and administrator facing pages. (~ 2 hours)

Participants who attend this workshop are encouraged (but not required) to bring a laptop with a local web server that has WordPress installed so they can follow along. (See WP Sandbox.)
