Reply With Quote #1

This is a SELECTIVE Intro. to amxx scripting. By selective I mean, what I feel should be learned as a jumpstart. It does not follow the exact protocol normally used by AMXX tutorials.

Due to popular demand of my tutorial, I am releasing my tutorial for BEGINNERS, such that they too can learn Pawn through simple examples and explanations.

Code:
Updated 5-28-07: 
Fixed some problems, which I overlooked before 
Added more examples
Added more in-depth explanations
Clarified some poorly explained areas
Cited resources to allow user to gain more knowledge from other sources
I apologize for not reviewing it the first time before submitting it - I had heard good feedback, therefore felt it might be of standard to release. I doubt it is still flawless, however, one persons way of explaining should/could not be the same as any one other persons. So, just because some people disagree with my teaching methods, I can assure them, it will help certain people (mainly those who know what a programming language is and does, but not how to use it), but will not help others (those who prefer more standardized/pre-formatted tutorials because I wrote mine when I didn't have resources like AMXX Studio even at my disposal or even for that matter, Microsoft Word ;-))

This tutorial is very simple, yet due to my understanding of how new things like programming can be is VERY understandable and easy compared to the majority of Beginning Tutorials, which usually assume knowledge of programming.

Let me know if there are problems/suggestions/requests you would like to inquire about because I am open to ideas. Just post on this topic or elsewhere on the forums and I will do my best to respond shortly thereafter :-).

If you complain/whine/bitch/moan/groan about my tutorial doing something wrong, do something about it - either tell me, explaining what you say is wrong or write your own and expect the same type of feedback when I nitpick because it's not a one-way relationship :-)!

Enjoy!

Stated opinion

In essence, not complete.

Also it's not legible. You should use a formatted text instead.

edit:
I'd suggest you to review some concepts; i.e. "public" is not an identifier.

I know it's not an identifier and I will fix that but like I have said, I did not proofread it, I merely released it because I was told it was good enough. I've been extraordinarily busy today, I didn't even second-check it before I posted it so me putting public as an identifier was simply an oversight. Thank you for spotting it.

I am not sure if this is already existing but is there a language guide for all of amxmodx?

I've only scanned through the tutorial and there are more inaccuracies than I care to mention. I also believe that the tutorial fails to meet its goal of explaining basic programming concepts.

I might write up an exhaustive beginner's tutorial later. So this wasn't done all in vain, it got me to do something
