For those who doesn’t know what WordPress is, WordPress is a personal publishing system built on PHP and MySQL and licensed under the GPL(General Public License). It is both free and priceless at the same time.
A WordPress plugin is a program, or a set of one or more functions, written in the PHP scripting language, that adds a specific set of features or services to the WordPress weblog, which can be seamlessly integrated with the weblog using access points and methods provided by the WordPress Plugin Application Program Interface(API). The basic idea of the plugin architecture is to keep the core of WordPress relatively simple, but flexible enough that nearly every aspect of its input and output can be modified by plugins.
I started to learn WordPress when I had my OJT last summer. By now, I am developing WordPress plugins as I continue my OJT at Auza.net. Making plugin is not as easy you think because it takes lots of effort and requires a good knowledge in programming specially in PHP. This is why I’ve been busy practicing and doing some programs using PHP so that I can make my plugin functional.
