Moodle developer course for beginners

Moodle developer course for beginners

In this course, you will learn the basics of moodle. The official documentation is pretty hard to follow and I take us through the most important parts of it.

This course will greatly accelerate your initial learning phase with Moodle, with real tips and tricks I use having worked in the Moodle developer industry for over 3 years.

You will learn how to:

• Install Moodle, apache, mysql, PHP

• Use the command line to run moodle scripts

• Use SQL to alter data directly

• Learn the Moodle directory/plugin structure

• Create a block plugin, with settings to alter its behaviour

• Create a custom theme based off boost, with custom css

• Learn about overriding templates and creating our own templates

• Learn how to override a renderer

• Create a local plugin to display dynamic notifications to the user

• Create new moodle pages

• Create custom forms that users can submit. Process and store that data in custom database tables.

• Create a web service (external function to interface with our plugin) that can delete messages using AJAX requests.

• Create a modal popup confirm dialogue window

• Create a new capability and add it to a role

I also go into depth about each action taken and include explanations of various parts of the codebase.

If that sounds useful, I look forward to seeing you around in the course!

Feel free to drop comments/questions and I will do my best to help you out.

All the code is available on Github and links will be shown throughout the course.
