Writing a Wordpress Plugin

I am going to write my own WordPress Plugin (from scratch).

I am wondering if anyone here has had any experience doing this and if they can offer any suggestions.

I have been looking for some sort of comprehensive list of all the "hooks", "Filters" and "actions" and what they are used for.

I have recently started writing wordpress plugins. I would suggest using other plugins as reference. Since I don't know the specifics of your application I can't give you any better pointers than that.

It's been awhile since I've written a Wordpress plugin. The following list looks like the one I was referencing last time I did though.

Probably the two most important hooks you'll use are register_activation_hook and register_deactivation_hook.

Once you have those two working right so you can install and cleanup after a plugin after un-install the rest should be fairly easy.

Cheers joebert, I am about to write a wordpress plugin as well, that is a good link.
