Learning Pathway Course: Intermediate Plugin Developer #2044
Description
Learning Pathway Course: Intermediate Plugin Developer
The intermediate plugin developer has the fundamental knowledge needed to develop for WordPress gained in the Beginner Developer Course and has decided to focus on plugin development.
See the all the Developer pathways outlined in this document.
It is estimated that a single content creator working full-time on this content, at an average of 2.5 video lessons per week, will take approximately 21 weeks to complete all the lessons in this learning pathway.

Update, moved the Roles and Capabilities module from the beginner pathway to here. Moved the lesson on enqueuing CSS and JS to the Introduction to plugin development module in the beginner pathway.

How can we include The Storybook into the module on advanced block development

Note to self, once #1984 is launched, re-review the modules/lessons in this pathway, to ensure the content is still relevant.

@jonathanbossenger I believe I've seen a response to my question in another Learning Pathway issue, but I would like to clarify it here as well. Firstly, I must say that this proposal appears to be a comprehensive and valuable Learning Pathway for plugin development. My question is: are you proposing to complete this project individually, or is there an opportunity for others, like myself, to contribute a single module collaboratively? Apologies if this seems like a basic question; I just want to ensure I understand the commitment required.
jonathanbossenger commentedon Jun 18, 2024
@eirichmond great question.
I would greatly appreciate any and all help I can get 😁
As a team, one of our primary goals for the Learning Pathways project is to create "clear, user-friendly pathway for learners of different levels, roles, and use-cases.".
This, and the other developer-focused pathways, form part of that goal.
As you may have seen from the beginner and theme developer , the more folks we can onboard to help us create this content, the faster it gets created.
I also wanted to highlight this point. I think it's important for each module to be self-contained. This means it would be ideal if the design and presentation of all the lessons in any specific module were the same. You will see this in the Introduction to WordPress themes module that Cynthia created for the beginner pathway and any of the modules she worked on in the theme developer pathway.
So if possible, it would be great if individual collaborators were able to take ownership of a specific module, instead of only working on specific lessons.
Final note, the planned deadline for this learning pathway is the end of 2025, so we do have some time. Please only take on that which you feel you have time for, it's important to me that contributors are able to balance life, work, and their volunteer contributions.

Project management update - 2025-12-16
As of 6 January 2025, I can no longer continue working on this learning pathway course as my employer has asked me to focus on other areas of developer education in the WordPress space.
This issue remains open to any training team contributor who would like to continue the work and complete the lessons in this course.
