Hi there!
I created a WordPress plugin starter kit / boilerplate, so probably it will be useful for someone. The project is available on GitHub - https://github.com/maxkostinevich/wp-plugin-starter-kit
Starter Kit is based on Tom McFarlin's WordPress Plugin Boilerplate version 2.6.2. The Starter Kit contains some useful modules, such as: - Custom Database Tables with CRUD - Custom Taxonomies and Custom Post Types - AJAX - Shortcode (with TinyMCE plugin) - Plugin Settings (Settings page with tabs is included)
