# How to Develop Plugins

For the tinkerers and developers out there, FormIt is a great tool for developing plugins. There are two modes of development you can choose from, depending on your development skills and the complexity of the project you wish to execute. 

* We recommend that you start with the [Your First Plugin](https://windows.help.formit.autodesk.com/plugins/how-to-develop-plugins/your-first-plugin) section. It guides you through creating a simple plugin using the Plugin Playground.
* If you want to develop a more complex project, we recommend following the [Advanced Development](https://windows.help.formit.autodesk.com/plugins/how-to-develop-plugins/advanced-development) section.
* For information on developing other types of plugins, check out the [Additional Development Options](https://windows.help.formit.autodesk.com/plugins/how-to-develop-plugins/additional-development-options) section.
* Refer to the [FormIt APIs](https://windows.help.formit.autodesk.com/plugins/useful-links) page for documentation links.
