About

If you’re interested in learning about web development, leveling up your web dev skills, or trying to kickstart your web development career, I’ve got you covered. My channel will help you to better understand the web by learning different languages, tools, and techniques. I’ve been a web developer for over 10 years, working with various languages, frameworks, and content management systems, meeting some wickedly talented people along the way. Hopefully, I’m able to share what I’ve learned with you. Sweet? Sweet!

Video Description

In this video — we will include ACF inside of our plugin so that you can ship this plugin without having to install and activate the ACF plugin. Here's a snippet from their docs: "The Advanced Custom Fields plugin is a powerful tool for developing bespoke websites and web-apps. Although designed primarily for individual use, it may also be used as a framework by both plugin and theme authors to power their free and premium products. We encourage authors to include ACF and have only a few simple rules to follow, which we hope you respect. This guide outlines the do’s and don’ts when including ACF within you plugin or theme." WordPress Plugin Development requires so much more than this, and we're just skimming the surface. We will continue to build on what we've learned in future videos and branch out to other parts of plugin development.
