I expected this answer, obviously not the answer I was wanting to hear, but meh.

Just out of interest, what would your thoughts be on these books, I appreciate they are old and likely out of date now, but I thought it might help as maybe some stuff is still relevant?

This I have tried, and I can't seem to get my head around what it is they are doing mostly. It seems a lot of addon author's have yet to discover meaning comments, other addon authors don't comment at all.

I have programming experience, but there seems to be a distinct lack of documentation from the horses mouth so to speak, all the documentation is from third party sources that have somehow figured stuff out for themselves.

I tried to figure out how to add a simple button to the world map, AtlasLoot does this how I would like to, and it seems to use this Krowi_WorldMapButtons library, but there appears to be a slight variation in the code that does that, from the example code on the link posted, also the example code on the link doesn't actually work it gives me errors that aren't very descriptive.

On a more positive note, I have a new found respect for the efforts of the addons I do use that are still working and actively being updated.

Thanks, I have seen those and have bookmarked them, but thanks for the heads up.

Any recommendations for small addons?
