You definitely need to have a good knowledge in PHP. If you are familiar with C or Java, PHP should be really easy for you.
To get started with writing a plugin, check out the wiki: http://wiki.mybboard.com/index.php/Authoring_Plugins
Also you have the hello.php plug-in in the plugins folder. Also you may learn something from looking at others plug-ins. I wouldn't suggest copy/pasting from them though.

I would also like to know this...any idea how do we 'hook' 1 template and inserting some codes into it? Maybe a brief explaning? Thanks alot.
