noobish question

[timmed1577]

I'm just curious if anyone has made a plugin that mimics BarMath, http://www.wowinterface.com/download...7-BarMath.html

If not, I was thinking of making something like it, for the info panel, but pretty much text (for now). My question with this, where would be a good place to start as this would be my first ever addon, let alone foray into LUA code.
