Now, you have a general concept of creating a new extension for Magento. As a scenario to our development, we will create a simple extension called TweetsAbout to communicate with Twitter via the API and get the latest tweets with the #magento, #packtpub, and #php hashtags.

We will have two simple pages; the first will show a link to the results, and the second will show the tweets.

Let's get to work!
