What's the best way to get started scripting poseballs? Never scripted or programmed anything before! Any suggestions?

If you've never scripted before maybe you would want to start with some of the free poseball scripts available first. That way you can see the code and what it does.

One:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llAvatarOnSitTarget

Two:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llRequestPermissions

Three:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=run_time_permissions

Four:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llStopAnimation

Five:
http://secondlife.com/badgeo/wakka.php?wakka=llStartAnimation

Or something like this:
CODE

string name = "Animation Name Here";

default
{
      changed(integer change)
      {
            if(change & CHANGED_LINK)
            {
                  key agent = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
                  if(agent)
                        llRequestPermissions(agent,PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION);
                  else
                        llStopAnimation(name);
            }
      }

      run_time_permissions(integer perm)
      {
            if(perm)
            {
                  llStopAnimation("sit");
                  llStartAnimation(name);
            }
      }
}

Written out-of-world, but that's the jist of it.

The above script while basic will have some undesired side effects. Please use the one below.

CODE

key user;
string anim = "man-sitting"; 
integer perms = PERMISSION_TRIGGER_ANIMATION;

default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llSitTarget(<0,0,0.00001>,<0,0,0,1>);
    }
    changed(integer change)
    { 
        if (change & CHANGED_LINK)
        { 
            llSleep(0.01);
            key sit = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
            integer u = ((llGetAgentSize(user) != ZERO_VECTOR) && (llGetPermissions()  & perms) == perms) );
            if(sit == NULL_KEY)
            {
                user = NULL_KEY;
                if(u)
                    llStopAnimation(anim);
            }
            else if(!u)
                llRequestPermissions(sit, perms);
        } 
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        key sit = llAvatarOnSitTarget();
        if((perm&perms) != perms || llGetAgentSize(sit) == ZERO_VECTOR || sit!=llGetPermissionsKey())
        {
            user = NULL_KEY;
            return;
        }
        user = sit;
        llStopAnimation("sit");
        llStartAnimation(anim);
    }
}
