Hi HarleyShort, The difficulty of creating plugins depends on your skill level and the functionality of the plugin being developed. If you have an understanding of Objective-C (iOS) or Java (Android) or a similiar programming language you'll have an easier time. Some people are already comfortable with Xcode's Interface Builder, and that can make things easier as well. If your plugin is going to be something simple, then you might be able to create it after learning some programming basics. Other plugins will require a deeper understanding of programming. Because of this some folks will opt to hire a developer to create a specific plugin for them, while they complete the other 99% of their app with plugins they already have. In addition to the video linked above, please consider completing either, or both, of the other two BTU Learning Paths. ( https://www.buzztouch.com/account/learningPaths.php ) They cover a lot of information on iOS and Android that will be useful to understand if you intend on creating your own plugins. After all of that, you can click on the "installed Plugins" link from your account screen. You should see a big orange button to "Create Custom Plugin" from there which will take you to our custom plugin creator tool screen.
