Not sure this question is appropriate for stack overflow
but on the other hand I'm not quite sure where else to
ask it.
I am learning about about WordPress plugins and would like
to ask for recommendations as to which WordPress plugins to
download and analyse so as to learn by inspecting their
source code. What are some of the best ones that would
do for instructional purposes?
Thanks.
If you are getting stuck with building your plugin, I often first develop the plugin as a function (in my wordpress theme's functions.php file or as an include) to get to grips with the internal functions and calls I might need to use before then translating it into a completely separate plugin for use on other projects.
It might seem like slightly strange approach, but when I was first starting out with WordPress plugins, using the functions.php file to quickly setup and run my plugins really helps as its typically already setup with the core WP load files needed to hook into all the right areas. This then allows you to gently move your code across into a separate plugin and test each segment too!
The Codex (as posted above) and the NetTuts site are two very good resources for learning more about plugins, but just try diving in with a function you want to create and customise, start small and build it up!
Firstly you are asking for something that other developers online cannot give you such as walking you through web based languages. You need to read documentations in order to understand them or go for classes.
Secondly Wordpress is open for you to develop for. If you did research it on Google, or any other search engine, you would find pages like this:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
Thirdly come back to Stackoverflow if you have code but it's not working so other developers can try help you with!
If the codex is a bit intimidating, you might also consider starting with this great tutorial. http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/creating-a-custom-wordpress-plugin-from-scratch/

May be this question is not appropriate for this forum , but i tried a lot on google but didnt found any good book for YUI3 for begineers except cookbook.
I need help, thats why i am posting.
I am looking for a good book or tutorial (except YUI3 library) that explains complete website development using YUI for front end and spring framework for server coding. It it includes a complete project like building any forum or e-commerce site , it will be very helpful for me.
Thanks, and apologies if i posted asked something wrong on this forum,
If you ever did some web project using jquery, I recommand the javascript Rosetta stone for documentation
The tutorials in YUI3 library are also a good way to learn the basics
However, it was announced that active development by Yahoo! would end. So it's up to you if you want to start with a framework that could be no longer maintained
For YUI3 there are some nice videos on youtube. Actually playlists by the YUI3 team members. They are good in understanding the architecture of YUI framework. Also if you google you can find a good book online named 'YUI3 cookbook'. That is also a good read. I am also new to JS and YUI3. I am also going to read JS book 'Javascript the good parts'.

Is there a plugin/module for Joomla or WordPress, that can register if it the same user/computer that maybe visit a page on my site that is about Cameras that say.
And the next time he visit my webpage again, It shows another content in the same page.
So what im trying to say is, same visit user/computer, show other version of content/page?
Is there a plugin for that for any CMS framework?
While not a WordPress-specific plugin, Aware.js sounds like what you might be looking for: https://github.com/xoxco/awarejs
Using it does require a bit of programming knowledge, though, and I think you might be hard pressed to find something that does what you're looking for in plugin form at this time.
If you are talking about e-commerce and you want an out of box solution just use virtuemart with Joomla. The featured page will show your products by a random order (default). You can also create modules with the option of random enable.
About cache (but this doesn't affect the random options of virtuemart, only joomla direct content):
Conservative Cache
Shows all visitors to your site the same exact cached content.
Progressive Caching
However caches the content for each user uniquely.

I have a site which is already part built and has some custom features in which I have invested a lot of time in. I now want to add functionality with some kind of CMS. Below are the requirements. I have been searching the web for a relevant CMS but Wordpress seems to be winning it at the moment. I am unsure if Wordpress covers everything I want though.
CMS requirements
Login that covers the whole site. (If logged in, can use custom feature)
Admin can create custom content types
CMS that allows CMS features to be dropped in to my current pages (not the other way around)
Ability to create different user roles
Lightweight and easy to learn
Wordpress looks good but I am not sure if it fits my requirements. Drupal is too big and bulky. Perch seems too simple.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You added wordpress yourself as a tag, so why not do it with wordpress? It is able to do all of that with use of (some obscure) plugins.
For the record: You can use any cms and customize it to meet all of your needs.
Joomla is a good option as well. It is a bit more complex than wordpress, but very powerful, very skinable and easy to setup.

Joomla looks pretty good out of the box. Drupal looks very ugly out of the box and does not do anything, except for admin tasks.
Is there by any chance a n00b-friendly Drupal app that would look pretty (kind of like Joomla out of the box) and use a whole bunch of hooks so that I could see them in action in a relatively big app?
ETA: ok, let me ask a more specific question from the same area. Is there a Drupal distro/app that would have the same basic functionality and look-and-feel as out of the box Joomla? While I personally might not know enough about what functionality and look-and-feel would be perfect for n00bs, the popularity of Joomla suggests that it can be thought of as a decent first approximation. Conversely, the widespread n00b unhappiness with out of the box Drupal suggests that it's not a good approximation to that at all.
What about a customized Drupal distribution?
Managing News
Open Atrium
Open Publish
Pressflow
If you don't like how Drupal looks, you could always install a new theme.
If you want a nice looking Drupal App then you can try OpenAtrium (http://openatrium.com/). It's pretty cool. It's code is perhaps not for the beginner, but it shows how good Drupal can look and act!
You can take a look at the Examples modules - http://drupal.org/project/examples. You can learn a lot from these, but obviously they are no good looking Apps, just API examples.
You could look at the core Drupal modules (User module for example would be a good start)

I am developing a travels related website using cakephp. I have to put some tour itinerary/special vacation campaign etc. on it almost everyday. The template/format remain the same, just the content changes. So, I am guessing that I can use some content management system like Wordpress/Joomla here.
Till now I had been working mainly on static pages only, but from now I will work on including search functions, forums, members area, polls, etc. in the website.
Can somebody tell me if switching to these CMS technologies is a good idea?
Regards
Joomla would be apt for you. Because Its going to be something like a website. Hence you can choose joomla, also there are lot of joomla templates available, you can customise to your needs.
Wordpress would not be right for you since its a blogging tool. Unless until you need blogging functionality you need not have wordpress.
There is also something like drupal,
You may read here for better clarity here
Yes, it is really a good idea. Using already built CMS saves time and increases the customization. For Wordpress, there are thousands of plugin which can transform WP into a CMS.
Also, security will be good if a CMS is used. You will get regular updates for stability.
