Let me introduce the lab to you and what you will be building. I’ll show you why this plugin includes Kint and Whoops too.
Labs
Labs are hands-on coding projects that you build along with Tonya as she explains the code, concepts, and thought processes behind it. You can use the labs to further your code knowledge or to use right in your projects. Each lab ties into the Docx to ensure you have the information you need.
Each lab is designed to further your understanding and mastery of code. You learn more about how to think about its construction, quality, maintainability, programmatic and logical thought, and problem-solving. While you may be building a specific thing, Tonya presents the why of it to make it adaptable far beyond that specific implementation, thereby giving you the means to make it your own, in any context.
Let’s Build a WordPress Starter Sandbox Plugin
In this lab, you will build a custom WordPress Starter plugin, one which could be the starter for your projects. You’ll install Composer, Kint, and Whoops. You’ll look at file structure and how WordPress’ Plugin API recognizes which file is the plugin’s main file. You’ll look at PHP DocBlocks and more. This plugin is one you will use throughout your training here on Know the Code. Let’s get started.
