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. :)

    you made my starting point a lot easier, but it whould be great to continue learning from you.
    BTW, some of the internal inkscape syntax has been depricated since you wrote the tutorial.but it's easy enough to fix on the way.
    cheers.
