Beginning Script Writing

To someone who has ZERO experience programming or code writing where would you direct them to learn basics?

I recomend @Explv's tutorial, and @Apaec's tutorial they help so much once you start to understand how java works. 

[Apaec]

I'd just read through some very basic java tutorials to get the jist of what's going on, then jump in and learn more about java through trying to write some scripts!

I just started writing scripts for OSbot, but have been in school for programing for about 2 months now.

 

To a total beginner, I'd stress taking things one at a time. Ie. For a combat script, making it attack the monster, then making it wait to attack because you're in combat, then make it eat food.

 

Try not to right away think of doing it all at once, because you may get overwhelmed. Make sure you read some guides, Explv's helped me and a couple others did.

Good luck.

This is what worked for me. Start with simple scripts, chop some trees or mine some clay, bank, repeat.

@k9thebeastcan probably tutor you

Starting off with some basic java is a good idea.
having a good base to start with will get you further in the long run ^^

There are some very good tutorials to script in the tutorial section.
Start with a basic chopper or miner and try to improve it.

You can always send me some snippets and I'll review your code if you want

If you want good foundations with Java i recommend, University of Helsinkis, Mooc course on java - http://mooc.fi/courses/2013/programming-part-1/
there's 2 parts - with over 100 exercises... spent over 6 weeks for each part.
