Hi @jonathanbossenger, a spot-on tutorial, as usual :-)

Two minor comments:

1. The Learning Objectives above mention two examples that are missing from the video:

a more basic "hello world" example, as well as an example of processing some form data.

2. Just a thought: How about showing what a WordPress PHP page looks like "behind the scenes" (either the dashboard or a theme page mentioned in the video.)

Hey @ironnysh, thanks for the feedback

The Learning Objectives #2077 (comment) mention two examples that are missing from the video:

Yeah, when I wrote the learning objectives that was the idea, but as I wrote the scripts for all the lessons in this module, I liked the idea of using the header color change as the example for all the different languages.

Personally, I also hate hello world, it's so predictable 😁

I've updated the learning outcome to match the content.

Ooo, not going to lie, I think that's a great idea, I'm going to do that for both the dashboard and the front end page I use in the video examples. Thanks for this!
