Total Newb: I want to start creating plugins

... but I just don't know where to begin!

Hey,

I want to learn how to develop plugins for Bukkit and
I watched the tutorial of Samkio and I think it's very helpful for
people who have, well a LITTLE plan of what they are doing actually.
The tutorial shows what you have to do, but not really what sense this has.
Are there any basic basic basics?
When I "hop" though other plugins I just see something, like you would see in:
hello.computer.couple.great.Noplan -> Nothing but a few words which make no sense.

Can you help me there?

At your knowledge, all I can suggest is this:

Lean Java.

 

So...
google

Thats the first episode of Learning Java By thenewboston on youtube. Very helpful to get started.

 

Also you can take a look at Samkio's tutorials, they helped me a lot when i made my first plugin.
They are a little out of date but i'm sure you will find them useful!

Good luck!
Some java knowledge is highly recommended!
