Description
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.

Hello Moodlers! My name is Kristian and I've been working with moodle for over 3 years. I always remembered how steep the initial learning curve is for Moodle and I have a passion for teaching, so this course came naturally.With experience with some of the largest university clients in Australia, and working with moodle development and hosting companies, I know what skills are required in the industry and can help you get there.Send me an email: [email protected] Thanks for watching!
