 * Hi,
 * I am new to WordPress. Does WordPress have an API and event system, where you
   can capture events, such as save, publish. Can something be implemented where
   a scheduled task runs everyday and if a page has not been updated for a given
   length of time then it sends out reminder emails. A table would prob be required
   to store that a reminder has been sent. This sort of stuff can be done in Umbraco,
   but not sure about WordPress.
 * Is the only language PHP?
 * thanks a lot for any information!

 * There is wp_cron, that you could have a detailed look into. Also, wordpress comes
   with countless hooks, that enable you to run a function after a specific event,
   e.g. save_post.
 * Here are the two links to the codex:
