According to built with.com, WordPress has 50% of the entire CMS market. Personally, I am a Joomla fan, but I have come to appreciate WordPress and how easy it is, and specifically its support for PHP7 and HHVM, which Joomla lacks at the moment.

To create a WordPress plugin, you must have a basic understanding of PHP. PHP is very similar to other languages such as C++ and JAVA, so knowledge of those languages can be helpful too.

These values can be of primitive types, functions, objects, etc. When the value of a pair is a function, we call this a method. Behind the scenes, when an object is created and properties and values/methods are added to it, the object stores references to these for later access. This means that objects can store references to other objects.

There are a few ways we can create objects in javascript. We can use object literals, constructor functions, the Object.create method and we can use ES6 classes to create objects as well. Read More
