Welcome to the Developer Documentation.

These Developer Docs are aimed at developers who work with Moodle code, plugins and themes. If you manage a Moodle site, or if you teach using Moodle, try the User docs.

Note: This wiki is using a new theme designed to help users with smaller screen sizes. Blocks previously in the left column can now be found at the bottom of each page. Feedback on this new layout is welcome - please join the new Moodle Docs theme discussion.
