Wordpress plugins are not complied. They are written in PHP and interrupted. If you want to see how a plugin was written, just go to the wp-content/plugins folder and find the plugin.

It might also help to go through the How to make a Wordpress plugin videos here first, so you have a good idea how the plugins are structured. http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-build-a-wordpress-plugin

Thank you. I haven't gotten to that course. I didn't see that it's on here. I will look into it and then write my own plugin!

You mean interpreted, not interrupted, right?
