55.9. Summary and Learning More

The information and examples in this chapter should be all you need to know to start writing your own modules. Chapter 56 explains some of the more advanced possibilities in module development, such as logging, locking, and access control. Chapter 60 lists all of the functions that are available to module writers in web-lib.pl, which can be used to give your module a similar look and feel to standard modules, simplify the process of editing configuration files, and much more.

The best source of information about module development is the source code of Webmin itself. Have a look at it to see how the standard modules are written and read Chapter 57, which takes you through the Scheduled Cron Jobs module.
