Google Chrome Extensions: Guide to Development & Publishing

In this introduction to the second section of the course, I'll explain what you will be building and the steps you'll be taking to make and publish your Chrome Extension.

Before you continue, learn about the changes that you now MUST include in your manifest file

You'll learn the initial files you'll need to include in your Extension project. I'll then show you the code behind writing the manifest file which is required to give Google Chrome information about your Chrome Extension.

The HTML code will provide the initial markup for your Chrome Extension. Following along with this lecture, you'll be adding the essential elements for the Extension.

Let's add a little style to your Extension! I'll show you the recommended CSS code to include which will help add a little visual neatness to your Chrome Extension.

In this lecture, you can follow along to add the all-important functionality to your Extension. I'll explain how to write the JavaScript to do just that!

You need to add a visually appealing icon to your Extension. I'll explain the best practices when making the choice in what icon type to include and why choosing carefully is important.

Let's test out your Chrome Extension! I'll show you the steps to get your finished Chrome Extension working inside of Google Chrome on your local machine.

So you want to upload your Extension to the Chrome Store for the world to see, and maybe even make some money from it?! I'll explain how to build your product page so it is ready to publish your Extension to the Google Chrome Store for everyone on the Internet to download.

In this lecture, I'll be giving you a summary to the key points we've covered in this main section and remind you the important aspects you must include to build, test and publish a Google Chrome Extension.

If you're eager to go away and think of your own Extension and what other functionality you could include, then I'll explain in this lecture the examples of Google's API's you can take advantage of to take your Chrome Extension to the next level.

This useful sheet contains some external resources which I think you will find useful if you're serious about taking your new found Extension development skills to the next stage.

Quite simply, thank you for enrolling on this course. Udemy has a great community and you're part of that. Congratulations on completing 100% of the course!

Based on user feedback, this lecture will show you how to build an extension using your first Chrome API

In this lecture, you will put together everything you've learnt so far, including your new knowledge of Chrome JavaScript APIs to build an extension that can completely clear your browsing data

This lecture will build upon your knowledge of working with the APIs and will add a little more complexity to the functionality of building a Chrome Extension.
