Interactivity API: Full CRUD Tutorial

[karstengresch]

Details

• Topic description: Full Interactivity API example with Create - Read - Update - Delete (CRUD).
  The idea is a course like "Using the WordPress Data Layer"[1] , but based on the Interactivity API (IAPI) and, thus, frontend editing.
  
  There is already a basic IAPI introduction[2] by Magdalena Paciorek (@magdalenapaciorek), which helped me a lot, nevertheless, it's not changing any DB records.
  
  To demonstrate how IAPI is intended to work with CRUDing posts/CPTs, I think, an course would become helpful to many.
  
• Audience: Plugin developoers
• Learning objectives: Developers will be able to create fully-fledged plugins leveraging the features of the Interactivity API
• Content type (Online Workshop, Lesson, Course, Tutorial, or Lesson Plan): Course
• WordPress version (optional): 6.5++
• Will you be creating this content? (Yes or No): No :-|

@karstengresch, thanks for creating this issue.

I'm going to ask our Subject Matter Experts to help with vetting this idea. It's a great idea for a course; we just need to do a bit more work on fleshing out the learning objectives and the course structure.

Hi @jonathanbossenger - thanks for taking this suggestion into consideration. Would be great if one day every plugin developer could easily enable their users with seamless FE based submissions w/o the need of any form builder.
