Hi!
I am a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka. University of Moratuwa uses the moodle system for the courses.
I am interested in developing an web browser extension for showing notifications of the moodle. (Similar to email notifier extension). Then users will be notified about deadlines and quizzes.
I need some help as I have not familiar with source code. Can you please help?

Take a look at this Moodle notifications plugin project:
Thanks Trinh.
As no one else has created a Moodle specific web browser extension in over 10 years I'd be interested in why you are selecting that approach. Also what browsers would you be planning to support,? Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari?
What email notifier extension are you referring to, is this something Moodle specific, what browsers does it support, who created it?
Actually University of Moratuwa uses the Moodle system. All the course notes, assignments, quizzes are posted there. Therefore we have keep in touch with Moodle and otherwise it is possible to forget deadlines easily.
That's why I am about to create a browser extension because almost everyone uses web browser daily and then we can see that upcoming deadlines easily when web browser is opened.
I am currently targeting only Chrome web browser. I am using Checker plus for Gmail in Chrome. I am interested in creating an extension like that for notifying Moodle notifications such as deadlines and forum posts.
Do you have the source for checker plus for Gmail and do you understand (generally) how it works.
What version of Moodle are you planning to support, I ask this because Moodle 2.7 has added some new Event mechanisms as documented here
I got the source code from here: https://github.com/AndersSahlin/MailCheckerPlus
I am referring chrome extension guidelines and trying to understand how it works. I have basic knowledge in html and javascript which are useful when developing extensions for browsers.
I will contact the admin of UOM moodle system and get details about the version.
