1. Don't use WYSIWYG. Use Notepad++ or a comparable plain text editor.
2. TOC format information
3. Lua 5.1 manual
4. API doc, event doc, widget doc. There's also the FrameXML, but you probably won't have to look into it until you get into hooking.
5. Feel free to ask for any advice regarding issues you're having on this forum - we'll be more than happy to assist.
6. You can also find me on IRC if you have questions. The channel is #mmo-champion @quakenet - if you're not familiar with it, there's a simple webchat you can use.

Tnx for the Info . I start reading the pages you mentioned above and i will start with something simple. Like an auto gz Add

Appreciate your offer to help and i will ask you sometime in the future. But first i have to read a lot.

It's also helpful to look at other peoples' code. Most authors will be happy to help you out with any questions you have regarding their code if they're not busy. You can find most of them in the #wowace/#curseforge/#wowuidev channels on freenode.

Hi again After some reading i try to see how things work. So i made an Addon that send some Chat messages. But something is wrong .
This is the code :
--Author : Nesos
-- Create Date : 12/2/2012
--Create frame with name "Nesos_Frame"
local Nesos_Frame=CreateFrame("frame","Nesos_Frame")
local l
local On=true
--------------------------------Register Events---------------------------------------------------------------

Nesos_Frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED")
Nesos_Frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LEVEL_UP")
Nesos_Frame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLE")

---------------------------------Set script-------------------------------------------------------------------
Nesos_Frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)

if (On==True) then --See if the add is on/of

if event== "PLAYER_EQUIPMENT_CHANGED" then
SendChatMessage("Oh...I think that makes me Prettier ","SAY")

elseif event== "PLAYER_LEVEL_UP" then
SendChatMessage("I feel stronger Baaby ","SAY")
onlyleft=90-UnitLevel("Player")
SendChatMessage("Only "..Onlyleft.." lvl left ^^" , "SAY")

elseif event== "PLAYER_REGEN_DISABLE" then
l=0
if (UnitAffectingCombat("Player")==true) then
SendChatMessage("Time to RnR...", "SAY")
end
if (UnitHealth("Player")<(UnitHealthMax("Player") * 0.5)) and l==0 then
SendChatMessage("You are a worthy Foe " , "SAY")
end
end
end
end)

--slash for On/Off the add
SLASH_NESOS1="/nesos"
slashcmdlist[NESOS]=function(msg)
if (msg=="on") then
On=True
Print("Nesos Add is ON")
elseif(msg=="off") then
On=false
Print("Nesos Add is OFF")
else
Print("What? Plz try on or off")
end
end

i like to use a slash command to turn on or off the Add. But when i add the code everything stop to work . Oh...the code activate only when i change gear...I get nothing on the the other 2 Events....
Can anyone tell me what is the problem?
Thx

Add the if statement into the OnEvent. Also, turn on Lua errors to see why the other ones don't work.
