Can anyone's l337 Googling turn up anything on how plugins are developed? I'm really interested in this field and I have no idea how to get started.

C/C++ of course....not a big fan of VB.

The ultimate goal would be to create a simple plugin for AIM or iTunes, but I'll start anywhere. If it's not that simple...so be it, but I've see 3rd party plugins for LOTS of software.

iTunes:

It depends on the application as to what language you can use to write the plugins - those with APIs like iTunes can be written in pretty much anything. I wrote a plugin for 3ds max a couple of years ago - that uses a scripting language called MAXscript.

Yeah, I've had the API for a while now, I'm trying to get the sample code they provide to work lol.

I'm going to try to look for more samples.
