Hi there! My name is Matt and I am a diligent RuneScape player.

 

I am interested in coding scripts, and getting into that sort of thing.

 

If anyone could tell me where i can learn, maybe video guides or something, and the best software to use for this please let me know!

This book helped me when I started a couple years ago. Don't get into scripting for at least a week or two, focus on java itself, understand the way of the java. Then you shall pass.

I don't have to pay for this eBook do I?

 

Plus, is there any way i can contact you futher about all this? i may have a question or two.

This is a really good way to start learning:

 

And once you understand Java pretty well then possibly move onto scripting:

 

 

Be aware that just like @GoldenGates said above you need to have a solid understanding of Java before getting into scripting. I know it seems easy at first but I made the mistake of jumping into scripting to fast and not understanding how to actually create objects and use methods correctly. I was lost and had to go back to learning Java for awhile, as should you if you begin scripting and are confused over why something works/doesn't work/overall misunderstanding of what to do. If you have any questions also feel free to PM me

As the above people said:

First java, then scripting.

I had same situation as Swizz 

The more java you learn, the better it will work out for u in the future.

 

Make sure you create projects and do everything as they do in the video, watching is NOT enough! 

PM me if you need help.

Check out some of theNewBoston's java videos, he has a ton of them. Once you make it through most of the beginner stuff and fully understand it, then you can start looking into scripting

Now you tell me... L0L.

It's okay though, because I'm applying to college as a Computer Science major because haha #yolo!

 

 

Honestly, I would like to learn to script, but I currently don't really have the time to learn, at the moment.

I have great ideas too, but I don't really want someone to take the credit for my idea(s).  

 

Thanks for the advice!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Cheers!

edit: Please don't ask (ask I mean flame) me why I decided to want to major in Computer Science...

Thanks mate, also to everyone else.

 

i have a small knowledge of HTML coding for web design, but other than that, nothing.
