This course covers building plugins for Craft CMS version 2
In this video course, plugin developer Ben Croker will guide you through the concepts necessary to build your first Craft 2 plugin.
But this isn’t just a boring list of instructions. You will learn, step-by-step, how to build a working plugin called Entry Count.
The course is broken up into small, absorbable chunks so you can learn in small increments and easily reference the material later. You’ll pull this course off the shelf from time to time to help you work through a problem during plugin development.
