Plugged Into Programming - From WordPress Plugins To Micro SaaS

We are exploring what it means to be a creative solo-programmer / solo-founder, and how to harness the power of WordPress by developing our own custom plugins. Plugins can be stand-alone products, all the way to the core of a micro SaaS, WaaS, or even XaaS bootstrapped business. Along the way we will learn how to code in PHP, JavaScript, and leverage the cool functions and hooks and libraries that come with the WordPress framework. The potential for creating new experiences and value for users is limited only by our creativity. Hosted by Jamie Robe, solo-founder of PluggedIntoProgramming.com

Day 1 - First successes building CPTs using Crocoblock's Jetengine plugin

Day 0 was basically purchase and install, while in this Day 1 episode I talk about setting up an smtp service for the dev site, as well as starting to actually build out part of the specialized content structure of the dev site.

This app was previously developed using PODS and custom PHP code, so I am basically starting on one CPT called pets. Pets holds a title, featured image and a bunch of meta fields. Jetengine has a very nice interface allowing no code construction of the Custom Post Type, as well as allow creation and editing of the data itself in the admin backend.

I am learning as I go, so I spent some time watching the crocoblock videos and reading tutorials. I did get some questions together and created a support ticket to see how long it takes to get help. More on that in Day 2.

This episode is part of a 30 day test I am doing to crash-learn how to use the crocoblock ecosystem of plugins. I am building or should I say rebuilding one of my micro-SaaS apps that I previously developed using PODS, and lots of custom code. I want to see how far I can push crocoblocks :) I will save any coding for my secret sauce of the functionality of the application.
