The Entry Count Plugin was built specifically for the Craft Plugin Development video course by Mijingo, which has since been discontinued. The Getting Started with Craft Plugin Development course on CraftQuest is a good alternative.

It allows you to count and display the number of times an entry has been viewed in Craft CMS. The plugin is intended for educational purposes and can be freely used for simple use-cases. For anything more complex, use the View Count plugin.
