Plugin development approach

    Greetings plugin developers.

    I have recently setup my wordpress site at http://www.robertphilp.com, and as a working PHP developer I thought I might have a go at developing a plugin or 2 for my own site, and perhaps for public consumption.

    I just wondered how people approach the development? Are developers running a local install of wordpress on XAMPP or a similar local environment? Is there a generally agreed or recommended approach to architecting and testing a plugin through a beta process etc?

    I would be interested to hear how people approach their plugin development work.

    Thanks in advance.

    XAMPP seems popular approach…

    Thanks Michael, I have been using XAMPP at work and for personal project for a couple of years and it’s always been fine, so I guess I’ll stick with it!

    Is there a recommended approach for beta testing plugins? I am going to take a gentle approach and do something VERY simple to start with but obviously it’d be nce to have other people test a plugin (on older WP versions etc) rather than just myself on 2.7 on my local machine.

    Cheers.

    That kind of request (help testing plugin) has been seen on the wp-hackers email list.
