In a convo in IRC I got a sudden Idea. We have several talented scriptrs and a ton of people who can't script but not really any one in between. and at the same time we have a request forum but almost non of them get fulfilled.
So here is my proposition. I will start a scripting class and we will use active requests as learning material. I won't do any of the scripting the students will. I'll set a request as a learning project and guide the student through completing the request. in the process people should learn how to script full complex systems.
What are the communities thoughts? do we have people interested in being students?
As I already mentioned a few times throughout the months, I wanted to put a guide together how to learn scripting. It's not a tutorial, it's a guide how you can learn it yourself. I will additionally contribute this guide as learning material and as teaching material.
Hell yes. Ryex, you are a genius. An utter genius.
*Signs up*
ok that's one I'll need at least three solid commitments before I do this. but please don't use that as a reason to sign up. only say you'll do this If you really will put forth the time to work on it.
Interesting proposal Ryex. Sign me up too. I have the time and the motivation.
Just to be clear. this would be aimed at teaching absolute beginners. any one who wants to learn scripting
I'd give it a shot; I've been trying to learn scripting for a while. I wouldn't have much time until my classes in school end, however, which will be able three weeks.
I'm not sure how I'll do it. but I'll probably give about one to two hours of stuff to work on a week. possibly less. hopefully thats not to much.
2hours would be allright. Really love your idea. I wanted to learn scripting for such a long time now >_<
Sign me up Mr.Ryex ^^
ok then. it looks Like I'll be writing up the topic this weekend and coming up with a plan.
more people can still sign up I'm willing to teach 5-7 people at a time
So, how will this be done? Via msn or irc or something? Or just via the forum?
well mostly through the forum. but I'm willing to give extra help through msn if it's needed
Sounds good. We should probably set up a chat group for the purpose.
*signs up*
I should have time for this.
I would def sign up as well. Sounds like a good idea.
Level ++ for that idea
Ive always wanted to learn how to script, so sign me up.
Not having to rely on others or guessing on scripts would infact be pretty useful.
I'm in if you'll allow it.
Just gimme a when and where...
Though I think a group-session of MSN or something would be ideal, versus Forum chat.
