Introduction
To improve the process of module creation the FreePBX team has built a generator that provides a basic module skeleton to start from.
If this is a FreePBX development environment the module will be loaded into the development directory, usually /usr/src/freepbx
If this is a standard installation the module will be loaded into the standard module directory, usually /var/www/html/admin/modules

What's Next?
After you've setup your module you're probably asking yourself, "Okay, what now?". The best next step would be starting with FreePBX Development to get a general overview of functions and methods from within FreePBX
Another great place to start is by looking over the FreePBX Internals wiki pages. These pages should help give you a brief overview of FreePBX and deep dive into specific functions and methods
