It makes me wonder if most people even understand what a “true” software development framework technically is… But that’s a conversation for another day. John Dennis Pedrie has release a small collection of libraries to help you (and him) write WordPress plugins.

Ok ok ok. So much needless drama (and headline) – I’ll admit it. But I’m having a bit of fun here, so cut me some slack!
