WooCommerce Developer Resources

WooCommerce has been working to compile all of the most useful resources for developers who want to build with WooCommerce. On September 1st, they rolled out the initial culmination of that effort, WooCommerce Developer Resources

For their initial launch, they focused on discoverability. One bit of feedback they have gotten from developers is that it’s often difficult to find what they’re looking for. When you visit developer.woocommerce.com, you’ll now find a curated collection of links to resources like API documentation, productivity tools, client libraries, guides, and others.

They’re not stopping there though. Their goal is for this portal to serve as a gateway to all the information and resources a person needs to be productive developing with the platform, whether you’re a WooCommerce veteran or completely new to the WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystem.

As they continue to iterate, they’ll switch their focus from discoverability to education and enablement. They’re putting effort into creating authoritative guides that developers can use for building extensions and themes, integrating external applications with WooCommerce, and even simply understanding the technical concepts of how everything in WooCommerce works.

Most of this educational content will live in the developer resources portal, but the plan is to announce any new content on the WooCommerce Developer Blog to make sure folks know when new guides are available.

As always, they’d love any feedback or recommendations you have for how they could improve things. If you have ideas or questions about the developer resources portal, please feel free to add them as comments to the original post or share them in the WooCommerce Slack Community.
