I meant the concepts of it.
Okay, so, I want to get this out of the clear, I've never coded Bukkit pluggins. I've modded before and I know Java, but never developed a plugin. So, I've watched a good hour or so of youtube videos and I'm learning a lot and I've made a basic plugin. So here's how a VERY basic plugin will look. (All this plugin does is allow a player to type /sendme and it will say on the screen "Sent" in gold. I've added my own comments to help you guys understand. If you understand how everything works in this code, you're on a good track.)

log.info(pdffile.getName()+"has been enabled!");
}
public void onDisable(){

log.info(pdffile.getName()+"has been disabled.");

//Casts the sender to a player object
Player player=(Player) sender;

return true;
}
return false;
}
}

Don't worry about knowing what the imports are and each one, and the comments should give you a run down of it all. But if you can read the code very well, you should be good for basic development!
