Read the tutorials on the Roblox wiki to get started and find detailed information on things, but mostly study other people's scripts after you finish the basics.

Watch some of the ROBLOX University videos on YouTube. I'm even watching them now - I wish I knew some of the ideas they teach there when I first started.

You should probably have a basic understanding of scripting before you do, however. Try reading wiki articles, or looking and messing with other people's scripts.

Also, do the scripting exercises when you use the wiki. This will challenge you, and also make sure that you've mastered/completed the topic you've read.

I recommend watching Peaspod's Scripting Tutorials. They're great.

Also, don't try to learn how to type it so much as read it. A good guy gave me that advice, it's highly true.

You need to understand how to read it in order to type it, so don't try memorizing typing without comprehending it.

You're from C&G so I have really low hopes for you learning much of anything.

Every single C&Ger who comes to Scripters just spews constant stupidity which is, of course, from C&G.

I like your enthusiasm but i hope you know it's gona take a long time to learn all of

this stuff, like for instance i play Minecraft and i'm actually a great MC coder,

but it took me about 1 year just to know like how to set up a score board...

basically what i'm saying is you may become a great map maker but it could take like

1 or 2 years so don't rush it! :|

Just read through like three tutorials and it seems easy enough. I just need to remember the syntax and proper structure of how specific lines of code are written.

You want to understand how the Object Browser works. You'll save yourself countless hours with it.
