A self-guided workbook-style tutorial that will help you build a Craft plugin to track all user visits to your site. It is a follow-up to the Craft Plugin Development video course, which is a prerequisite, as is familiarity with the Entry Count Plugin built in that course.
Ben’s workbook will help you take the next step in Craft plugin development by applying what you’ve learned in the Craft plugin development video course and working more independently.
