Custom post types/fields without the use of a plugin.

Hi. Really enjoying this so far! Just for my own sanity - I assume that in later video's (such as Creating WordPress Themes) we will go through how to make custom post types and fields without the use of plugins? I'm new to WordPress but I gather if you want to make themes for clients then this would be set up in the code itself so that the user can't disable/edit/be confused by the plugins?

I haven't taken the WP courses here at Treehouse, but I do wholeheartedly recommend this tutorial: https://www.taniarascia.com/wordpress-part-three-custom-fields-and-metaboxes/

Here is a great site for building CPT's and other code blocks for Wordpress. I highly recommend it.
