This will start with a live demo of creating an add-on. I plan to present my whole workflow, from registering add-ons to creating operators, from implementing a user interface to the roller coaster of debugging (and how Blender makes this MUCH easier). And once the add-on is done, we will go over building it into a zip file for sharing, and testing it with pytest.

Additional time will go to the workshop, answer questions further, and do some live troubleshooting.
