In this topic I said that I would be producing a tutorial on plugin development from scratch. I've realised that because the process is so heavy and introduces so many concepts that shouldn't be taken for granted, it would be good to provide a plugin template or framework that goes a bit beyond what is on the wiki.
Can anyone tell me what they think of the attached templates? Neither plugin performs any meaningful task - it is about getting the flexible structure set up to actually then produce ones own plugin. The bulk of the structure is lifted from the way mvlcek organises his files.
One example is done purely in a procedural programming style. The other uses OOP techniques to provide a plugin controller that can easily be extended to have more methods; also, the plugin autoloads classes from its folder.
In short, I'm asking is whether or not these examples would actually be helpful for plugin developers (prospective, new or old) and if not, what can be done to improve it?
Thanks for any feedback and kind regards.
