This chapter builds basic add-ons using using Blender’s Python API. One of the biggest hurdles of add-on development is transitioning from a development environment to a neatly packaged and OS-independent add-on, so we spend considerable time in this chapter discussing various development practices.

Following chapters build on this knowledge to incorporate more advanced features into add-ons.
