After that, it was no longer a question about how it's done, but why it's done. This is a turning point. If you start questioning the abilities of the scripter and are able to do something in a better way then you've effectively outperformed said scripter. It has to be said though: you require at least some logical insight. If you're completely new to any kind of programming, but don't realize within 10 minutes that a block of code starts with { and ends with } then you're not going to get very far. Other languages use keywords instead of braces, but the same principle applies.

Same. My first thing ever done was something like a /help command. I remember wondering why the hell it didn't work when I sent the lines but then I figured it had to do with a character limit. I got so happy when i finally got it working!

I must say as every college student that I really thank wikipedia for helping me on my journey.

I learned scripting at the same time I learned english. Infact I never scripted in my own language so I could use it as a complete ultimate practice. Hell it DID pay off.
