Comments on: Review of “WordPress Plugin Development: Beginner’s Guide” http://planetozh.com/blog/2009/10/review-of-wordpress-plugin-development-beginners-guide/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

The first page I opened actually contained an error which was not a good start (recommendation to load something via wp-config.php which will break if wp-config.php is moved, therefore wp-load.php should be used instead). The rest of it looks pretty good though. I'm looking forward to having a good read of it some time as there's a lot of stuff in there which I'm not overly familiar with and some stuff I could do with a better understanding of. Thanks for the recommendation :) It's looking like a good one so far. Their 5 – 15 day delivery estimate was a bit out of whack, it just arrived today.

On the positive side it's really good to have a step by step guide - on the negative side it's too short and I already found the first (minor) error on page 28 where the first "serious" code starts. Reading your article gives me the feeling I made the right decision - hope it stays like that.. ;-) Andreas I am currently reading this book and already had a first look at its content.

This book does a great job of surveying one's options when looking to extend the capabilities of WordPress. I've been writing all my own extensions/plugins since reading (2/3 of the way through so far) this book. Thanks for the review Ozh. Agreed.

But that's not Vlad's fault. One other thing: Vladimir is one of the absolute best WordPress experts: themes, plugins, design, he does it all. As it turns, out I need to go dig it out of my bookshelf because I'm coding on plugins today! I agree: if you have any interest in plugins, buy this book and read it cover to cover.
