One of my long-term projects is to build a blog platform that doesn’t require anything more than installing XAMPP, EasyPHP or other sandbox setups to write and edit and then publish using PHP’s built in FTP process.
I dislike the admin backend for WordPress. It seems that half of the code or more is dedicated to securing the backend. With no backend, security isn’t a problem and the whole thing can be a lot leaner (which equals faster).
Is there a digital version of this book? I have saved a lot of information in my harddisk from tidbits of information I find in the internet about doing plugins. I’ve recently tried opening the innards of some plugins I have been using and checking out what makes them tick. If my interest sustains me, I’d probably be able to cook out some kind of plugin one day, at least for my own use.
Thanks for the review. With a myriad of how-tos and guides, it is overwhelming and hard to keep up. I need something that as you described about this book is less about theory and more about results.
Yeah, digital is in these days. In fact a lot of readers today are turning paperless by scanning their books into pdf forms. This way they could carry a whole library with them anywhere in USB disks.
Hopefully this plugin development book has digital version too.
Is there an eBook version of this available? And if there is, does the author update it as WordPress evolves? If both of those answers are ‘yes’, then I think it’d be a real winner.
