The QGIS program - Writing my own plugin -- resources

Do this search: "can I write a qgis plugin in python".

Developing Python Plugins
Building a Python Plugin

Example source code

QGIS plugin portal

For any plugin you have installed, the source code is already sitting in a directory on your machine. On my machine, this seems to be:

/home/tom/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/
/home/tom/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins
/home/tom/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3/profiles/default/python/plugins/quick_map_services

The last directory in the above is full of python code.
