Each topic is illustrated through realistic examples showing how it can be applied to solve common problems, followed by explanations of all concepts used.

From the creation of your first simple plugin to adding entire new sections and widgets in the administration interface, learn how to change and extend WordPress to perform virtually any task. After installing and configuring an efficient plugin development environment, you will discover how to register your own callbacks that WordPress will execute at key points, forming the basis of plugin creation.
