Anybody else learn scripting by googling problems and going to the wiki pages that help? I kind of combined that with knowledge of other languages and that is how I learnt.

the wiki doesn't help for learning
but it's a goldmine for an already-capable scripter

When I first learned how to kinda like 'memorize' how code should work for like guis and all that. The wiki actually gave me a huge leap. It gave me an actual understanding of how code works. Like variables and all that. Like I knew how to make stuff but didn't know how it did it.

I kinda just 'knew' what to do with code from math. Especially my pre-calculus class. He actually taught in terms of functions and all that.

Math is very similar to coding and i've always been strong at math so it just kinda came to me. Luckily I found lua first as it is an easy language and actually continued to further my knowledge by like reading the whole of lua(dot)o_g site and understood even more.

I basically just took what I knew and relearned what I knew until full understanding.

Like recursion. How can a normal person grasp something like this. Factorial is defined recursively I just took stuff like this and gave it an actual meaning in terms of coding.

Wiki is great though.

People undervalue the wiki. I believe it is a great resource, though.
