  3. Thanks for this tutorial, I have learned more about wordpress plugins from this tutorial than I have in the past 5 years, and I have built a few hundred wordpress sites! Thanks so much!

  4. money can buy you everything, but it cant buy you love, but surly makes lonlyness a whole lot easier haha nice line dude

  7. I work as a web designer and I just recorded a series of video tutorials for the use of wordpress. It really is the most complete wordpress course of 2013. I posted a sample video from the training on my channel. watch it now..

  8. Thank you Pawel. I will definitely keep that in when creating videos specifically for YouTube. Are there any other topics that interest you besides creating WordPress plugins?

  9. Thanks for tutorial, you're great for sharing your knowledge! Having said that, I agree that it would be slightly better if you cut first 15 minutes of tutorial and move to business immediately without laughing and lengthy introductions. But again: thanks for this tutorial!

  11. Thank you for the feedback Ashley. What kind of plugin are you interested in creating. Have you looked at the documentation on the WordPress website? I also recommend the book, Professional WordPress Plugin Development by Brad Williams. You can find it on Kindle or Amazon in paperback. Don't let the "Professional" part of the title foul you. It explains everything and walks you through examples. I'll put the links in the video description so you can check them out. Cheers.

  15. Thank you JoeCanti. I'm glad it helped. Please let me know if you'd like us to make any other videos on a particular subject.
