Ten copies of the WoW UI programming book "World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons" are being
raffled off at WoW Interface!
This guide is geared towards using Lua, a popular programming language used in video game development. Specifically, Lua is used for in-game scripting and creating addons for World of Warcraft. The authors cover the most relevant material, as well as a number of pitfalls and common mistakes that the reader may experience in development. No prior programming experience is assumed, although familiarity with languages such as PHP or JavaScript may be useful to the reader in picking up the Lua language.
