Packt is pleased to announce a new book that will teach users different aspects of modern WordPress development. Written by Content Management expert and developer of WordPress plugins like Smart YouTube, Vladimir Prelovac, WordPress Plugin Development: Beginner's Guide guides users in creating and distributing their own plugins following WordPress coding standards.
WordPress allows users to easily create
dynamic blogs with many outstanding features. Its versatility and ease
of use has attracted a large, enthusiastic, and helpful community of
users, who have created a large and diverse collection of plugins.
Plugins are the method WordPress offers to customize and extend its
functionality, from making the site easier to administer, to adding the
odd tweak or new feature, to completely changing the way their blog
works.
This book will walk users through the development of six complete and
feature-rich plugins used by WordPress users. It will show users how to
build all sorts of WordPress plugins: admin plugins, plugins that
alters their post output, present custom "views" of their blog, and
more. Users will discover how to use the WordPress API in all typical
situations, from displaying output on the site in the beginning to
turning WordPress into a CMS.
In addition to this, the book introduces new interesting techniques
such as Widgets, interacting with the WordPress Database, and Ajax form
submission. It uses the mixed approach, by taking advantage of creative
WordPress and JavaScript techniques, in order to create an Ajax powered
'Wall’ for their blog’s sidebar.
PHP developers wanting to create feature-rich plugins for WordPress
will find this book useful. This book is out now and is available from
Packt. For more information, please visit: http://www.packtpub.com/wordpress-plug-in-development/book
