Macik has made an extension template plugin for generating new plugins and modules.

There's also esclkm's CotontiDevTool which is capable of generating new plugins (the page is in Russian but the program supports English).

And if you use SublimeText2, sublime-cotonti package might be helpful.

Thank you for the links. I'll be checking them out and hopefully start adding some more extensions for people to use.

Hey,

I would suggest to start reading all of the documentation that is available on the website here.

http://www.cotonti.com/docs/
http://www.cotonti.com/docs/ext/extensions/

Especially these are definitely recommended for developing:

http://www.cotonti.com/docs/ext/extensions/extdevguide
http://www.cotonti.com/docs/ext/extensions/xtemplate_programming

Another thing that is definitely good practice is browsing through other plugins' code.
Check out some plugins on GitHub and see how others do it. Guys like Trustmaster have a whole list of repositories on GitHub.

Good luck! :)

Hey guys, I'm wondering if there are any resources or basic guides on writing simple extensions/plugins. Is there perhaps a "Sample" plugin that helps a enthusiast like me get started? I have a couple of pretty good ideas I want to try out.
