    I'm a new php developer (really, really new - converting from coldfusion). I'm trying to write a wordpress plugin, and I'm lost on how to create the short tags I want (example: [myplugin] ) to use to insert my plugin's front end on any page/post. I'd really appreciate any tips or any articles you can point me to.

    Probably best to start here:
    Shortcode_API

    A plugin to look at that uses a shortcode:

    That was exactly what I needed - thanks Michael!
