I am going to write my own WordPress Plugin (from scratch).

I am wondering if anyone here has had any experience doing this and if they can offer any suggestions.

I have been looking for some sort of comprehensive list of all the "hooks", "Filters" and "actions" and what they are used for.

I've done one, and hacked apart a few others. There are some tutorials out there if you look. I think there's a site called wpengineer or something that has some good info.

Or you can find a really simple plugin that is up to date and take it apart and see how it works.

For all of the hooks and filters, just use the Codex, it has everything in it I believe.

Same here. Never done from scratch but I took similar plugin and tweak/customize them the way I want. For starter, it's the best way to learn though.
