coding
 
hey peeps,

Is there a place where i can learn to make plugins for nUi or basics of doing it?
Thx in advance for your answers.

For basic addon coding for wow I used wowwiki's pages and looked at the coding for addons doing similar things.

For my first infopanel plugin I used Scott's combatlog and minimap plugins to see what was needed for it to work. I also used things like nUI_Healbot to see how you connect existing addons to nUIs info panel system.

For the LDB addon I wrote I used DBMs own LDB addon as it is very clear in there as to what each section does.

And finally .. to help those that want to learn I try to add as much commenting in my addons as possible.

It takes time and lots of trial and error in some cases but once you get there its hard to leave .. :D

You're not dumb... don't make me smack you.

Have a little faith in yourself. :) If you put your mind to it, you can do anything you wish. ;)

I'm reminded of one of my Grandfather's many "favorite" sayings....

"If you think you can't, you're right."

A corollary to that is this...

"When you find someone who is doing a job well, just remember that it's only because they've already done it enough times to have made all the stupid mistakes. Now they're just focusing on the more complicated ones."
