July 11, 2020 — If you’ve ever wanted to build your own plugin for WordPress, this is the session for you. We’re going to start from scratch and work our way up.
First, we’ll take a look at the basic requirements of a plugin. Next we’ll take our example plugin idea and break it into the various components and steps that we’ll need. We’ll code up the plugin together and install it on our sites, debugging any problems that arise. Finally, we’ll look at ways that we could further extend our plugin.
This tutorial assumes some HTML and CSS knowledge, but you don’t already need to be familiar with writing PHP or JavaScript.

June 16, 2020 — En 2011, creé un plugin conocido de gestión de boletines para WordPress, lo dejé en 2015 y desde entonces he trabajado como freelance.

Después de un tiempo, utilizando otras tecnologías fuera de WordPress, he vuelto a la carga y actualmente estoy desarrollando un plugin de gestión de citas para negocio.

Desde 2011 muchas cosas han cambiado :

WordPress
– Las tecnologías web
– Las expectativas de los usuarios
– El repositorio de WordPress

Hay que renovarse para crear un plugin de calidad en 2020.

Utilizando mis pasadas experiencias, hablaré sobre las motivaciones para crear un plugin y las distintas formas de abordar el desarrollo, viendo cada parte del proceso de creación desde la idea hasta el lanzamiento.
