WordPress Plugin Development Book Reviews

First reviews of my WordPress Plugin Development book are here. I was a bit nervous as they are coming from two distinguished WordPress plugin developers :)

First one is from Andrew of wp-fun.co.uk, whom you all know by his sharp articles and useful tutorials.

The book is organised around the development of six plugins. With each chapter a new plugin is started, developed and explained. None of the plugins are simple so this really is a book for someone who actively wants to learn. Vladimir has clearly decided that you can get a ‘Hello World!’ plugin tutorial from anywhere so, while he does explain what you will need to develop plugins, for example, where you can get free tools, and does include the basic ‘Hello World’ skills in the first tutorial, he kicks off the book at a fast pace.

Second one comes from Thaya of OmniNoggin, author of WP Greet Box plugin.

If you are at all interested in WordPress plugin development, you should definitely get a copy of this well-written book.  I would even recommend this book for current WordPress plugin authors because I’m sure there are plenty of things in there that you don’t already know.  Personally I find that there are many best practices covered in this book that I have been neglecting in my own plugins.
