So, you wanna learn pawn? Brilliant, it's a good language and you will have fun when you see your projects in action. I'm gonna give you a few tips.
1) Pawno(cc) is not a language, it's a compiler
2) A compiler is a program that turns code that we understand, into code that the computer understands
3) You can use different pawn editors, the default one is pawno.exe in your Pawn folder
4) Pawn is the coding language, .pwn the file and .amx the complied file.
5) Don't start things you know you can't finish
6) Don't try to start learning from other scripts
7) Have fun when coding
To start learning, I highly recommend looking through tutorial on the SA-MP forums. When you have finished reading some tutorials, try to script something. When you come into errors, search for the solution on the SA-MP Wiki and try to fix it yourself. If you learn to fix it yourself, you will know for future problems, instead of relying on someone else on the forums.
