I Launced WordPress Plugins Version 1.0.0
🌱I Pressed The Published Button
Last week I sent y'all a message about my upcoming Refactoring WordPress Plugins. I uploaded A version 1.0.0 and pressed publish on everything after finishing up work today.
i wanted these books to be useful but also fun. I have been working on this eBook and rebuilding the website as a side project for a while now. I've also been working a lot less. I'm also walking the dog more and the book contains photos of flowers and my dog. I hope if you choose to read it, you appreciate that it reads a lot like I talk and appreciate the dumb jokes.
🌵 Less Early Access Discount
Now that the ebook is at version 1, I am now offering the discount code PMBOOKLESSEARLY to save $5 for mailing list subscribers. You can use it at checkout here: ​ https://pluginmachine.com/course/refactoring-wordpress-plugins/
If you can't afford the book for any reason but believe it would help you advance in your career. Just let me know, and I'll send you a bigger discount. I like the idea of purchasing power parity but do not have it set up. Just email me, and we can work it out. If you have extra money and want to buy a few copies and give them away, that would be cool too.
🌲 Please Share The Blog Post
I published a blog post about the eBook today. If you can share the link or if you can reskeet/toot/tweet my social media message, I would super appreciate it.
If you had a chance to read the book, I'd love to know what you think and if you have any feedback.

👋 Hi Everyone. I'm back from my time off and have some new stuff ready to go. Earlier this year I wrote about my plans to pivot Plugin Machine. The two big new ideas that I talked about were mini-courses or eBooks and a membership. The first eBook I wrote was soft-launched this week. It is completed and on sale on my site. I am still tweaking things and will announce and publish it on Gumroad next week. You can purchase this book standalone or as part of a site membership. I will be...
Hi! Isn't the intro to a newsletter trying to be all personal always so awkward? Maybe that's just me. Anyway, I wrote some posts about building stuff with AI, using TypeScript and started working on an open-source app with it. 🌱Why LangChain? Last summer I started playing with HuggingFace, but was super busy with actual work to write Python for a side project, since I don't really know Python. Then I started actually building stuff with the openai-php client, including the API server for my...
🌱 Stuff I've Written Recently Using React's useEffect In WordPress In the last newsletter, I mentioned a post about creating reusable React hooks. Since then I wrote a new post about how to use the useEffect hook in WordPress. This post has several examples of using that hook -- to load WordPress posts via API and to remove admin notices from wp-admin. I also explained how to use the hook to manage pagination, as an example of how the dependencies argument works. I would appreciate if you...
