Looking for a mentor

Am new with the plugin développement,
i have already some programing knowledge in c++, python, and web language(html/css,javascript)

and i would like to learn how to do some simple plugin(to start),
i already look for some tutorial but they where outdated or not "very good"(like a tutorial who said to wrote "this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);" without explanation,

so that's why am look for a mentor who has the time and kindness to help me learning the basic

Thanks in advance


Ps: am sorry if i did some grammar error , my first language is not english,

Bumb

Tips for:

General Coding: TheNewBoston
More MC based coding: Look around on github.com or go on the bukkit ask questions look at answers to questions

 

I learnt from this guy, BetterPHP

Goes through it all simply enough

 

i start looking BetterPHP video, but since i hit a wall with getType() who aprear do dont exist anymore(or have change) i taught his video was outdated

Edit 01:
i fail, i sould watch the video completly one time before trying to code during the video,

will but that on the fact that english is not my first language



Edit 02: Alias the new problem
[CODE = JAVA]if(event.getBlock().getType() == Material.TNT){

}
//Incompatible operand types org.bukkit.Material and net.minecraft.server.v1_5_R2.Material
[/CODE]

I learned the basics from this guy: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4A0C6138F3F5AA41. After you know the basics and the "setup" you can start trying things on your own and when you have a question, you always can post it on this forum (at least that's how I did it). The most important thing is to never copy and paste code without understanding it.

thanks will take a look


Ps: one thing who really piss me off, when you name your package,

WHAT SHOULD I WROTE AND WHY,

some video tell to put "me.ingameName.pluginName"
other said "contry.inGameName.pluginName"
or " domain.EmailCompagnie.emailaddress.pluginName"

there is any utility or its only a personal choice?

i read i canot use .bukkit.pluginName like some did in there tutorial cuz its reseve for Bukkit devloper or owner
