 * Hi everyone,
    I’m looking to build a plugin for WordPress that will allow my 
   team to create custom forms that interface with our private API, and I have been
   through a couple of tutorials and created a basic plugin, but I can’t seem to
   find any info on how to write a plugin to create custom forms, or even a basic
   description of the process. Virtually every combination of words I have searched
   for has resulted in listings of already existing plugins to create forms, not
   how to write a plugin that creates custom forms. mildly frustrating, to say the
   least. Are there any tutorials out there that deal specifically with creating
   a plugin that creates custom forms?

 * The best thing you can do is find a simple form plugin in the repository (the
   simpler the better) and modify/fork it to do what you need for your specific 
   purpose.

 * I’ll look into that. Are there any that you would recommend?
