I'm interested in developing plugins in the near future and I was wondering if there are any tutorials that will guide me on how to do it.
I searched it up on Google, and it returns a post on mybbcentral by labrocca, but AFAIK it's a bit outdated and not as clear as it could be.
If anyone can give me a run through how to do it, or link me somewhere that shows me, I would be very appreciative.

That's the one another member linked me. Going to read once I'm uncapped.
Shannon, i am in the same position as you, maybe a bit further ahead. I think that the thing you are going to become unstuck on is the actual use of hooks, it is hard to find that explained anywhere.
Follow my thread here where i asked:

I'm not worrying about hooks yet, but when I need them I will be sure to refer to it.

Hooks are the first thing you need
Well, maybe the second. Structure is probably the first.
Yumi's guide is easily the best introduction there is (the one yaldaram linked to). I wrote a few tutorials that walked through my personal process of creating a simple plugin that may provide a small bit of help too:

I'm going to be adding a tutorial to the wiki for basic plugins before Christmas, and an advanced one whenever I have time.
These will be "Step by Step" walkthroughs of plugins.
Good idea Dylan
That should make things easier as there'll be a single resource to refer to.

Well, we had a whole topic on it in the Saff forums when I could't find how to do something that should have been easy... and it was just because it wasn't obvious.
I'll probably add a third page as well "Clever Hook Tricks"
