In this tutorial, I will show you the basics of creating a simple Wordpress plugin. After completing it, you will have the knowledge to expand upon it and create your own Wordpress plugins.

I was just reading this article posted on CNET news Apple’s tablet: It’s all about developers and thought to myself, it’s a great day to be a software developer.  This quote from the article got me exceptionally excited.

“Never have developers mattered more. As Apple readies its tablet announcement party for later Wednesday morning, the big question remaining is whether developers will join, or whether they’ll join Google’s Android and Chrome initiatives.”

Amazon is now looking to throw their hat into the ring and is releasing their own dev kit for their ever so popular Kindle.

It appears that big name game developers Electronic Arts is also getting involved (WTH?!?!)

This just seems like it will be an epic fail.  Who really wants to play video games on their Kindle?  Maybe they can port Kirby’s Dreamland from the original Game Boy .

Recently TopCoder.com posted a list of algorithm tutorials from some of their “top coders”.

The tutorials are very comprehensive and pretty much sum my undergraduate computer science degree up in one page

When in XCode on a MacBook Pro, doing a 3-finger swipe up will switch between the .h and .m files.

⌘-option-up will do the same thing
