How did you guys learn how to make scripts and how would an absolute beginner even begin learning to make scripts? Something I want to get into 

Study basic java and check out @Apaec and @Explv's tutorials. This will give a good idea on where to start. Best of luck!

If you look underneath Support Section -> Scripting Help  Will help answer most your questions. Good luck on your journey.

Ahh shit I completely skipped over that, thanks for the help guys! 

Learn Java, Git(Only if you want scripts on the SDN), & how to read Java Documentation.

Until then don't event attempt writing scripts because it will just be crafted poorly. I recommend Derek banas, or Head First Java book for Java tutorials.

+1 I can't read my own scripts even if I tried to simulate how I wrote them. Now I don't make scripts. ?

How modest. Not gonna plug yourself?

@corey1996 Watch his tutorials! Followed lesson 0 and lesson 1, then started scripting my own stuff. I had literally no coding/scripting experience before that. You'll learn more as you make more scripts. Also, reference his other 2 tutorials while you're making your own projects. But definitely follow along and build the same script alongside Chris in Lesson 1.

Well I wouldn't be where I'm at without them. I'll definitely be watching the new ones though

+1 to Chris's tutorials.

Learned everything I know 100% from video tutorials & open source projects.

It's definitely possible to learn without any previous experience, (I had NONE when I started.) I never understood why people say you NEED previous experience.

Now obviously, in the beginning if you're just learning from videos/open source scripts your code will not be the best to start. However as long as you stick with it - over time you should naturally start to pick up better practices & improve your code. At least this is how it went for me.

Good luck

Yeah I have no experience at all but it’s something I want to get into, by the looks of things it’s just gunna be a trial and error thing until things start sticking in my head. I guess I can always come back here if I get stuck and need some help, always people around to help which is good ?
