Interested in Authoring

Hi all
I consider myself a addon junkie as i have used just about every possible addon that was available to me during my wow days. However i want to make the transition from user to author now that im a rifter. Can anyone point me in the direction of informative tutorials on where to start and how to go about creating addons?

There is a ton of helpful information in the Tutorials and Other Helpful Info section of the Developer Discussions forums. As well, there is a lot of information (including the current API) on our wiki.

I would imagine the majority of that book though would be covering an API that is irrelevant.

People often imagine things wrong

To have bought and read, I can say that it is much more than that

I'm author in WoW and War, ready to build in Rift too when they will allow it

The Rift vs WoW API stuff won't match, but the book covers basic Lua stuff, several chapters in fact, which is universal.

I am in talks with someone about writing a Rift equivalent, but for now, that's all they are: talks.

It has been disabled on the PTS for over a week, if not two. It won't be turned back on until next week at the earliest.

Trion wants us to test content, not addons

Understood. Just found out that they would be available for construction. I have however have been doing my fair share of bug finding (mainly on maps where you would seemingly fall through the maps randomly)
