Treehouse Guest TeacherWe don't have any content for this yet, but will by the end of the year. In the mean time look into the Options Framework plugin and related tutorials for that.
Or you can watch our plugin development course and probably figure out how to code it all yourself.

It's quite simple once you're comfortable adding, updating and getting options from the database and saving forms to the database. Bit of jQuery here and there for color pickers and you're all set.
