Creating Your First Plugin Using an External API

This session will focus on the steps of creating a plugin that connects with a 3rd party API, such as Twitter, Instagram and Amazon. You’ll learn the major steps: Creating template doc blocks,  grabbing proper API credentials/library, creating an options page to store and save user inputs,  creating a widget to output content into sidebars and additional steps to improve code base. We’ll also cover best practices if there’s time.
