You cant just wake up one day and write plugins. You need to know basic C++ before you can write plugins. http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Category:SourceMod_Scripting

Actually SourcePawn is more like C.

Why not? I slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Read the development section of the wiki. Your going to be clueless if you've never coded in another language before though.

For pleasure or business... if you know what I mean.... rofl

Yea, it's as easy as you think. Just open notepad, write "/*" and then a description of everything your cool plugin should do, and then "*/". Throw it into your compiler. ??? and then you're done.

I think you think that programming is easier than you actually think what is when I think about it. And begin programming in SourcePawn is not a really good idea in my opinion.

Why not? Having previous programming knowledge makes it much easier to just jump into, but a scripting language such as pawn is IMO probably an easier place to start than say c++. Only difference is there is not nearly as much documentation on the fundamentals, whereas if you had started with an actual language.

Well, it's stupid but for example PHP (I don't really love it). It's easy, halfways fast and easy-to-understand. In my opinion much more than Pawn.

I think making plugins is a great way to start programming. For one, the scripting language is very basic. Your not making entire programs, just scripts. Number two, the language is more or less easy to learn. Plus there's a fantasic wiki with a tutorial to get started. Third, there's a wide array of other plugins to look into to see how something is done and to reference. Additionally, what's funnier than modding video games? SourcePawn is a great way to get into programming.
