In this Creating Plugins to Extend WordPress training course, expert author Joe Chellman will teach you how to create your own plugins using the WordPress API. This course is designed for users that already have a basic working knowledge of WordPress.
You will start by learning about the highlights of the WordPress API, then jump into creating your first plugin: a dashboard banner. From there, Joe will teach you how to create your second plugin, as well as how to further enhance your plugin, including how to create a widget for custom posts, register settings and sections, and prepare your plugin for localization. This video tutorial also covers additional plugin possibilities, such as using transients to cache expensive operations, implementing the transients API, and reacting to deactivation and uninstallation of your plugin. Finally, you will learn how to distribute your plugin, including how to publish independently on GitHub and submit to the WordPress plugin directory.
Once you have completed this computer based training course, you will have learned how to create and distribute your own plugins using PHP and the WordPress API. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.

Michael Darche –
If you’re an intermediate WordPress developer (not afraid to deep dive into PHP) and you are interested in adding custom features to your themes, this is a great overview course for you! It’s a little outdated (recorded in August 2015), but all of the resources and principles covered should be more than enough to get you started building custom plugins. Highly recommended!

Definitely one of the best WP dev education sources I’ve come across. I docked it one star because 2 of the videos are out of date. It doesn’t make it impossible to follow along with the course though.

fast paced, beginner to intermediate level, without fluff. well explained. Great that he sets you up COMPLETELY on IDE’s, packages etc, so you’re good to go.

Good overview of what professionally can be done with WordPress but not many examples are presented. Also the WP REST API has already been in core as we speak. Nevertheless, it gives nice advice on Transient, How to make CPTs and why to use OOP in WP. It’s kind outdated now (early 2020 writing this review).
