Where to begin?
  1. Grab a Text Editor or IDE: Notepad++ / Notepad2 / IntelliJ IDEA, etc, but NOT AddOn Studio
  2. Modify/copy other (simple) addons
  3. Read the Getting started with writing addons Tutorial
Optionally, get on IRC: irc://chat.freenode.net #wowuidev, #wowace, #wowpedia
Buy the books: Programming in Lua, World of Warcraft Programming
References:
ps: "anything" that can be done with XML, can be done in Lua, so you don't really need to know XML to make an addon
