Lets talk about the exciting world of standards! With over thirty thousand plugins on the WordPress plugin directory it can be pretty hit or miss when searching for a solution in the form of a plugin. This can lead to developers spending time writing their own solution (as a plugin) instead of even trying to use one that is available. We can work on building up the trust of the community in plugins by more thoroughly applying coding standards used in themes, core, and some key plugins.
I will be talking about the WordPress coding standards, documentation standards, and showing how to apply those when writing your own plugins.
