The Hitchhiker's Guide to Building Plug-ins

It sounds like some people plan to pick up the gauntlet! Awesome! But where to start??? There are lots of great resources out there one could use to build plug-ins for APEX. I'll list the resources I know of here and update the list as I learn of new resources or the links are updated. Let me know if you want me to add a resource. Click here for all the details on the Application Express Plug-in Competition.
