Start here:
/54/46/121753/1.html My own advice is, use the inworld SEARCH function, go to the EVENTS tab, filter via the dropdown menu to EDUCATION. This shows a huge range of (mostly) free classes held almost hourly on a huge range of topics, from scripting and building, to clothing design and starting your own business. There are free beginner scripting classes held on nearly a daily basis. Take as many as you can, and you can go at your own pace. |

Perhaps you should tell us what your software background is, already. Advice will change depending on what you already know.
Aside from that, there are lots of scripts for you to study here in these forums, in the wiki.secondlife.com, and elsewhere. Read some scripts, and see what you make of them. |

there is college of scripting. it's set up for self-learners to walk through and mimic the instructions.
basic stuff, but it'll get you started. _____________________

This has been invaluable to me. Best bet would be to start with something simple from the examples and dig around in the code, using the wiki for reference. I just hacked around with existing code until it started making sense. The "Hello Avatar" script is more informative than most language's default scripts - although in the spirit of "Hello World", shouldn't it say "Hello Grid" ? |

I have programming experience with cobol, fortran and pascal, only a basic knowledge of c/c++. |

programming experience with cobol, fortran and pascal, only a basic knowledge of c/c++ I too have industry experience in these languages, and also C. I used C++ also but it was syntax only, employed procedually rather than as OOP. I biggest hurdle I personally found in starting with LSL was stopping thinking/designing in a procedural, linear fashion ('C' follows 'B' follows 'A') and start thinking/designing in terms of 'events' and 'states' and asynchronous functions. Still get tripped up by it, tbh, although now I know what I am looking at when it occurs. It seems likely that in terms of LSL syntax and function calls you'll have no particular problem but I would suggest specifically researching LSL 'events' and 'states', as this is the main different thing to learn in LSL that is conceptually different from procedual languages XxX |
