Hi Everyone,
I’m hoping to get some advice from the community on how to learn Appian Custom Plugin development.
I have 3.5 years of experience as an Appian developer and am familiar with standard Appian development (SAIL, records, process models, integrations, etc.). However, I have no experience with custom plugin development.
I have reviewed the Appian documentation, but I feel like I’m missing a learning path. It’s difficult to figure out:
How to start as a beginner
What are the actual prerequisites are
How to go from developing plugin code to testing in Appian
What a good first plugin project should entail
I would greatly appreciate any advice from anyone who has experience with:
A learning path for plugins
Examples or GitHub repos for beginners
Advice on local Appian development for testing plugins
Things you wish you had known when you started
Any advice, links, or personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help.

HI vishalk3971 ,Definitely you can start creating plugins from scratch following the Documentation, as i have previously worked on plugins creations, i suggest you to go through the Java Basics:You need to have basic understanding of : 1. How Appian SDK Works.2. How to use the Java libraries & Functions.3. What is the use of Custom plugin You build, Is it already available or OOTB?4. Type of Plugins you choose for the usecase, etc.,Understand you cannot test the plugin in Cloud instance unless verified by Appian, But you can test only if you have personal On-Premise instance.If you still need more inputs let us know we can guide you here in community. You can refer for more understanding - docs.appian.com/.../Appian_Plug-ins.htmlThanks.
