I know this is an odd question, but I was wondering what is the best way to learn how to script.

For me, I used the wiki. But I used random people on YouTube when I wanted an exact thing. But the wiki is by far the best.

There's no one best way. Check out my YT channel linked on my profile - I have a good learning path for beginners.

I mostly mess around on script-builder with studio opened up and try to learn different tasks with scripting. While doing this I usually look for help in the wiki incase I don't understand something.

The "best" way to learn is by doing your own stuff and not copying. This helps alot because you understand how things work when you tweak with it. If you have absolutely no knowledge in scripting then I would find stuff that teach you the basics, such as: Youtube, The Wiki, This forum, free models (not recommended).

Scripting is the easy part. If you know every class in the API and every function and data type in the global namespace then that's almost all you need to know. Getting to know the service classes and default starterplayerscripts in the most detail is a good way to get good at scripting pretty fast.

There is no best way to learn. Rather, it is the most efficient way for you to learn that matters most to you.

One of the absolute best ways to learn programming is to read others code, but you need to take care and not study bad code... BUT before you can do this you need to have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of programming. Conditionals, loops, variables, operators, etc...

This appears to be a good resources as well for Roblox specific development.
wiki.roblox.com/?title=Scripting_Book

And learn the API wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class_reference
