I would like to start writing a WordPress plugin that will allow the user to play a scratch the card game (like the lottery). I would like to ask what programming language I should learn and how to get started. Is anyone with similar experiences and what are the recommendations you can offer ? Thanks in advance for your responses
For Wordpress, you would need to know basic PHP, and also how wordpress works.
For this, I suggest reading Writing a plugin for Wordpress
For the scratch card, you can make this in CSS and JS. For an example, I refer you to Canvas - Scratch Card

Like they said before, wordpress is using php. So you must learn php and how wordpress is functioning in order to be able to add stuff on your website.
You can look at simple existing plugin to help you. getting started

I have a Wordpress booking plugin, which has a booking form frontend and dasboard. I would like to know if it's possible to convert a Wordpress plugin to separate PHP script?
Possible? Sure. Easy? Probably not.
The snag is that any WordPress plugin runs off the back of plenty of built-in WordPress functions. From low level (retrieving the site URL) to higher level (accepting inputs, saving data, etc).
If the plugin was very simple, you might try to go through it piece by piece and dissect it from the WordPress backbone that it runs on, but it would be pretty slow going. What I might try instead is use the plugin as a reference point to write your own script.

I was tasked to create a file upload workflow that integrates with Wordpress.
I created a backend that is called via REST that does a lot of custom workflows. Thus, I cannot use the current plugins.
It is a single page application that accepts a file as well as some metadata.
My current dilemma: I need to integrate this web application within Wordpress and have no clue where to start.
After consulting with someone who's developed with Wordpress before, he recommended to build a plugin. And since I have no experience with Wordpress, he helped me build it. It was literally 3 lines of PHP.
Thank you all.

I need to develop a e-commerce type website with some typical modifications in it.
I want to develop the front-end by myself and I need some extra functionality it, it will be something like a printing service so maybe I will need a plugin that will allow user to upload images with the corresponding type of material used.
I decided to use a CMS because it will help me in the long run managing things and keeping everything safe.
I am proficient in the languages that are associated with these like PHP, Mysql, HTML, CSS etc. But know a little about WordPress or how it can be modified or what is the workflow for developing a e-commerce site with WordPress and woo-Commerce.
I need to design a front-end for it and some specific functionalities. Where should I start? What should I learn first?
Wordpress has a great community with free tutorials over the web.
Download woo-Commerce here.
You can find a decent beginner overview here.
You can find another one here which is more extensive, you can find part 2 to this one here.
To make your own modifications to the code simply go to /wp-content/plugins and locate the w00-Commerce folder. You will most likely have to do these updates through ftp.
You should now be able to edit the php files associated with your woo-Commerce plugin for more customization.
You can expect your site to look something like this before modifications:
Hope this helps.

I have a website I'm working on for a friend where he wants to update it periodically, by adding text to a website. Is there some sort of CMS that could help him do this, without him having to edit the html by hand? I've already written the html, so I don't think something like wordpress would help. But I really have no clue, I'm brand new to web dev.
I've already written the html, so I don't think something like wordpress would help.
You can easily transform your static HTML layout and pages into a WordPress theme. But there are many other CMSs out there (small ones if you only need some basic features).
For this project I would go with WordPress, it's well-documented, easy-to-use and the community is great.

The wordpress is such a great tool. I'm wondering if it will be a problem to start adding sections at some point, nothing to do with the blog, just sections for the site with different functionality ( say a database of searching stuff ) perhaps also incorporate and let user reistered through the word press database with the other featues in the site?
What should I need to know for this? will it be OK?
Some firm knowledge of PHP will allow you to write your own Wordpress plugins,
see this (Wordpress: Writing a plugin) page for more information.
There is also a 5 minute video tutorial about writing your first plugin which can be found here
You should try PodsCMS as a way of expanding on top of your vanilla Wordpress install. It's got a great interface, great tutorials, and the developers are always more than willing to help.
You can literally do just about anything with PodsCMS, especially with a good working knowledge of PHP and WordPress' workflow.
I've found the Wordpress plugin Magic Fields really useful for adding cms style features on Wordpress Pages. It may give what you want.
You can modify the wordpress pages if you want it integrated in the blog, or add new things on other pages.
Are you asking if you can use the wordpress login info for other sections of your site?
