I am new to this craft cms and plugin creation.
I did research lot to build a really very simple plugin in my local machine and try to install in craft cms 4 but no luck.
I have followed this document to build it https://craftcms.com/docs/4.x/extend/plugin-guide.html#composer-json.
Does anyone know any detail document to create plugin and install it in craft?
Thanks in advance.
There is a Craft Generator utility that exist now for Craft 4 plugins. Craft 4 has a pretty decent migration utility from Craft 3 to Craft 4 that you can run if you've already developed a Craft 3 plugin. I updated one of my plugins without any issue in the Craft admin when updating a site from Craft 3 to Craft 4.
I've used craftquest.io a lot to learn about how to make a Craft 4 plugin and their videos and articles are really helpful in understanding how to extend Craft 4 out of the box.
Craft Generator is a CLI tool that you can run to setup your Craft 4 plugin. It's a little cumbersome but there is some documentation on the git page and utilizes composer.
Here is a link to the documentation on the main Craft CMS site for utilizing the cli tool Craft generator. Hopefully this helps point you in the right direction.

How do we add our own plugin. Lets say a new add-on or feature which can be installed and used. How do we develop that? I am sorry i am new to this.
Kindly help
Depending on your needs, I suggest you check out:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/concepts/open-ui/introduction.html
You can also create various plugins more like the native functionality. Adding such to essentials is described here:
https://documentation.bloomreach.com/14/library/essentials-plugins/overview.html
That doesn't tell you how to create a plugin however. Essentials is just a helper application, the plugin can be various things from services, to configuration, to document types, to hst components... All of that requires some knowledge of the internals of the system. Look around the documentation, you can see how to create various things like workflows, perspectives, and more.
A plugin is no more than a collection of code and configuration bundled together. It could be a frontend thing or a backend thing. So I can't simply tell you how to create them. It can be quite difficult, depending on what you want, to create a plugin. Look into the code of some plugins, you will see that it is basically a java project with some configuration that can be found by the system on startup.
You might want to ask more specifically on what exactly you want to develop. That could lead to more specific advice. It can be daunting when you are starting to work with the cms. With experience it does start to make sense.
Where can I find a developer guide to kibana, that explain me how the system work and all the things i need to know for developing kibana plugin?
Or if someone could publish snippets of sample plugin.
I've started cloning statusPage plugin, but I don't want to do revers engineering to understand the platform.
On the website, the is no type of developer manual.
Thank you
You can refer to the following links to learn How to develop Kibana Plugins:-

The official answer from 6+ months ago seems to be "don't":
We're working to develop an external API but would caution you away
from making custom changes as things still move pretty fast and
internal APIs are likely to change even in patch versions.
Also, "there are no public plugin APIs right now" (8/2015)
Hard to find any information to date. I recommend you to look at the plugin generator released some days ago:
Generator Kibana Plugin Structure
There are two plugins I found where you can have a look at the code to understand the structure. The first is the Sense plugin, the second Timelion. Timelion matches more to the structure of the generator.
Sense Github
Timelion GitHub
I suggest understanding plugin structure and code for traffic plugin (https://github.com/sbeyn/kibana-plugin-traffic-sg) which would be one of the simplest plugins to understand and you could directly add it to your installed plugin folder in kibana and see it working.
Other than that I would also suggest you do read timroes blogs (https://www.timroes.de/2015/12/02/writing-kibana-4-plugins-basics/) for developing kibana plugins
and last I would also suggest using elasticsearch discussion forum for kibana related issues as well for quicker responses:

I am new to sakai, i want to add my own tool in sakai source code like announcement,syllabus...etc That tool having some my own functionality for this what i have to do, how can i develop my own tool in sakai.
Thanks.
Use one of the archetypes to get you started, then customise it. When you are comfortable you can change the UI layer to be whatever you like.
https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Developer+Tools
If you are looking for a solid "base" tool shell to begin with tool development my recommendation would be to start here: "Sakai Wicket Maven Archetype". There are a few other very good archetypes available but are often outdated and may cause you some problems based on my experience. This has been the one I've had the most success with.
This uses Wicket but does not mean you have to use Wicket to develop further with it. Make sure to pull the 1.2 version as last check the binaries for the others were not available yet so replace -DarchetypeVersion=1.4.1 with -DarchetypeVersion=1.2 It will compile and deploy successfully as a tool "as-is" that you can modify as needed. It also allows you to code in Java to directly access the sakai API and pull from its database or even add your own tables. I've successfully used it with NetBeans 8.0.1 and MySQL 5.6 under Windows 7 with Maven 3.2.3 and Sakai 10.1.
The code is well-documented and is no-frills but with enough varied functional use examples to allow you to do "almost" anything you want. The wicket manual is 600+ pages but in my experience you should be able to accomplish a lot just by looking at the code in the archetype.
I have been look around for Free/Open Source ASP.NET CMS / Portal systems for a while now, and have seived it down to two different ones.
Umbraco - http://umbraco.org
mojoPortal - http://www.mojoportal.com
Both look excellent and have different appealing features, but I am looking for people who have used both and which one you went with and why??
I actually went for Umbraco in the end and would never look back, its incredibly easy to install and use
To install you can use the web platform installer to install it and the AMAZING amount of free projects you can EASILY install with a couple of clicks make it by far the best CMS out there
http://our.umbraco.org/projects
If you are unsure where to start have a read of this
http://www.blogfodder.co.uk/post/A-Complete-Newbies-Guide-To-Umbraco-CMS.aspx
I tried Umbraco and it is not for the timid. I feel I'm a fairly technical person, Sr. Web Developer... and after several hours I gave up.
MojoPortal just works.
It has its flaws, but the simple fact that it just works means it wins.
I used Kentico, DNN, Sitecore, Joomla, CMS Made Simple (Yes admittedly not mojoPortal). Umbraco is by far the most powerful if you are after a highly customised and highly specified solution. Linq2Umbraco just seals the deal.
However, if you are after idiot proof CMS with everything built in, and your biggest concern is to look for check boxes to enable forum/blogs/whatever other joke modules/bells and whistles/etc. Umbraco isn't for you. IMO Kentico/DNN are the ones.
Edit - And 3 years later, I've used SharePoint, epiServer, SiteFinity as well.
Umbraco still wins hands down.
mojoPortal seems easier to use to me and it works even with javascript disabled like using noscript browser plugin. Seems more care of accessibility has been taken using progressive enhancement javascript techniques whereas you can't manage your site at all with javascript disabled using Umbraco.
I haven't tried mojoPortal, but I love Umbraco.
Things I like:
Clean code
Uses XSLT, python, or .NET to extend
Awesome community support
Tutorial videos for easy learning
Admin area is extensible
Good plug-in projects
But really its because I can use it for both small and large projects easily.
How can i add a plug-in that i developed in MOODLE, considering the fact that MOODLE is an open source project?
Here is the documentation on installing contributed modules to moodle. You have to be approved before your plugins are available to everybody. If you wanted to get your plugin added as a core component, you should contact the development team. Make sure you follow the guidelines for your contributed code.
Check the guidelines for contributed code. They should include everything you need to know about contributing to the moodle project. They describe that you have to submit it on their bugtracker, etc. -- for further question, I suggest you contact the moodle people directly.
The code checker plug in developed by the Open University (moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=local_codechecker) is an invaluable tool for anyone hoping to contribute an extension to Moodle and incorporates general coding good practice.
I would recommend using this for any software you are planning to share with other Moodle users and using the forums at moodle.org to get some feedback on beta versions and your concept while developing your plug-in.
Moodle contributes code guidelines.
http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Guidelines_for_contributed_code#How_to_submit_code
Read the How to request that your code be tested/reviewed section.
Pay particular attention to following the moodle API
