[REQUEST] Intro to Programming Addons - adamomg - 2012-03-20 With the vast requests for addons around here, I figured I would ask our genius programmers to maybe steer us in a right direction to start making our own addons. I know Python is the language to learn, but there are not a whole lot of resources that I could find. Youtube has a playlist for intro to Python: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=python+programming%2C+playlist - but, I don't know if its entirely up to date. Could someone come up with a quick list of basics to learn so that it doesn't feel like I'm grasping at straws? For instance:
Also, I'm not asking for someone to teach me personally. If I need to purchase online courses or something of the like, that is fine.

They have some Python videos to get your feet wet in things like importing libraries, types of variables, etc RE: [REQUEST] Intro to Programming Addons - adamomg - 2012-03-21 Thank you for all of your help point some things out.
