+# Building a Plugin
+
+You are now ready to learn how to build a plugin. In this part of the
+guide, you will learn how to apply basic GStreamer programming concepts
+to write a simple plugin. The previous parts of the guide have contained
+no explicit example code, perhaps making things a bit abstract and
+difficult to understand. In contrast, this section will present both
+applications and code by following the development of an example audio
+filter plugin called “MyFilter”.
+
+The example filter element will begin with a single input pad and a
+single output pad. The filter will, at first, simply pass media and
+event data from its sink pad to its source pad without modification. But
+by the end of this part of the guide, you will learn to add some more
+interesting functionality, including properties and signal handlers. And
+after reading the next part of the guide, [Advanced Filter
+Concepts](pwg-advanced.md), you will be able to add even more
+functionality to your plugins.
