At WordCamp Cape Town 2014 I presented a workshop on building your first WordPress plugin. It was a pleasure to share my experience with everyone who attended the workshop and, as I promised at the end of the workshop, here are a few links regarding what we learnt.
Post Hit Counter

- Post Hit Counter on WordPress.org: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-hit-counter
- Post Hit Counter on GitHub: https://github.com/hlashbrooke/Post-Hit-Counter
Note that the demo plugin I showed you (and that you can download above) has a much more simplified structure compared the final plugin available on WordPress.org and GitHub. The functions are exactly the same, but the final product uses a more complete object-oriented structure.
