[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 751913, member: 11220"] I am not aware of anyway of coding C# on a Mac. it needs the whole .NET framework stuff and I think you are stuck with Windows. As for learning then as you say you have two issues, one is MP and the other is C#. C# is pretty much the same syntax as C, Java, PHP etc (but nothing like BASIC) If you are really starting from scratch and going to want know about if statements, case statements, for loops, while loops then I would really start by taking C# out of the equation. There are many good online resources that teach JavaScript. This is very different to C# but it is the same structure which you really need to understand first. IIRC an earlier version of [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/JavaScript-Visual-QuickStart-Guide-Guides/dp/0321772970/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1306776510&sr=8-1]JavaScript: Visual QuickStart Guide Visual QuickStart Guides: Amazon.co.uk: Dori Smith, Tom Negrino: Books[/url] was pretty good. Next step up is probably Object Orientated stuff but I am 50/50 as to whether you should understand that first or .NET/C#. To do it properly yes you should learn about OO stuff first but to write something you would not need to totally understand this (would work but not be as good code as it might) The MP side is probably one of the hardest bits in this jigsaw. You might be better off digging around some of the source code lying around for various plugins as this will really point you in the right direction. The best thing really is having something to work on. Knowing what you want to do and having enthusiasm will get you there a lot quicker [/QUOTE]
