Could you explain what you like to do ?

There are two types of addon's:
- Plugins - Which is installed in a standalone Squeezebox Server
installed on a computer
- Applets - Which is installed on the Touch itself

The link you linked to describes how you can install plugins also in
the built-in server but that's really not recommended and definitely
not officially supported.

Generally speaking, applets are the way to go if you like to do a
screen saver or something that's very interactive with the user.
Plugins are useful if you want to add a new browse menu or add support
for some new Internet radio station and similar stuff.

The Hello World sample you linked to is a plugin but it doesn't
implement any user interface on the new SqueezeOS based devices
(Touch/Radio/Controller) it only shows up on the old IP3K based devices
(Boom/Transporter/Classic). If you want sample code for a plugin with an
interface on the Touch, it's probably best to look at one of the bundled
plugins which you will find here:
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/slim/7.5/trunk/server/Slim/Plugin

If you want to do an applet, there are some sample applets available
here:
http://svn.slimdevices.com/repos/jive/7.5/trunk/squeezeplay/src/squeezeplay_contrib/share/applets/

However, if you can give us some kind of indication what you like to do
it's easier to recommend what you should look at.
