Session Description:

Developing a plugin for WordPress is not hard, and starting is easy. However, the bigger a plugin gets, the more pitfalls there are.

WIth WP-Table Reloaded and TablePress I’ve been developing two quite successful plugins since 2009. In this session, I’d like to talk about the mistakes I made, the challenges I faced, and the things I learned, (and the fun I’m having).  I’ll be sharing some insights on my development workflow and my favorite tools, on the techniques that the plugins use, and on what else you should be doing besides coding to make your plugin more valuable to the community.
