[SOLVED] Where to go to train on UDT development for CMSMS

[blackhawk]

I am coming from a JavaScript background and would like to dive deep into examples of using proper classes, methods and properties for small code "snippet" development in UDT's.

(ie. what are the basics that every developer should be following when creating a custom UDT? What functions and properties are great to use and what are examples set in place to using them? What should we be initiating our UDT code with? How do I view data from a built-in CMSMS class and print it out?)

I just don't want to make it my plan to copy someone else's code, before getting some training on how data should be pushed or pulled via UDT's. Outside of it working, I wouldn't know if that code was a standard, advanced, or an outdated practice.

I want to wrap my mind around development in this area when I am (i.e.) trying to access database values for the news module, or creating an associative array with static content from scratch to manipulate, or pushing new data back into a database table.

Thanks for any training resource advice

Read http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/tags/user ... ting-a-udt and you can also learn from code in existing tags in the Forge

Thank you Rolf!
Code from existing tags in the forge and also in the plugin directory for the cmsms packages is where I will begin my journey. Thank you for that insight!
