I would like to learn how to create a plugin from scratch, there are tons of tutorials out there on the internet, but they are either premium or not a reliable resource. would like to know which are the best resources available on the internet.

A very first advice from me will be: Don’t follow the tutorials on the tutorial sites blindly they are full of bad coding practices.
Some of the resources that I follow:
- Mark on WordPress
- Justin Tad Lock (You can also buy the copy of his e-book Professional WordPress Plugin Development)
- Otto on WordPress
- scribu’s development blog
And here is the list of Specific tutorials that you should consider going through, some are old but are still valid.
