I'm trying to find tutorials on how to build a module/plugin for Nginx web server.
Can someone help please, I just can't seem to find the appropriate tutorials.

Nginx has a module chain. When Nginx needs to gzip or chunk-encode a response, it whips out a module to do the work. When Nginx blocks access to a resource based on IP address or HTTP auth credentials, a module does the deflecting. When Nginx communicates with Memcache or FastCGI servers, a module is the walkie-talkie...
The purpose of this guide is to teach you the details of Nginx's module chain... When you're done with the guide, you'll be able to design and produce high-quality modules that enable Nginx to do things it couldn't do before. Nginx's module system has a lot of nuance and nitty-gritty, so you'll probably want to refer back to this document often. I have tried to make the concepts as clear as possible, but I'll be blunt, writing Nginx modules can still be hard work...
You can find an official nginx development guide here.
The end of the document leads to a new repo (6 weeks before this post) full of examples here.
