Writing extensions for Inkscape

I am going to start this tutorial with a quote:
When you start learning to code don't be unsettled to use code that you don't understand at first, just keep at it ... The answers will come.                 Olivier Etienne - March 2018
Just remember that you are learning to code, try taking in as much as you can, and if you don't understand something, don't worry too much. :)
