j/k, but somebody had to say it. =P


A good start is reading up on WoWPedia and WoWProgramming. WoWPedia has a fairly decent bit of information for starting out, and the WoWProgramming book is definitely worth it if you don't mind spending $50 or so on a rather large book (it's definitely worth it, though).

Grab some small addons that only have one function and look at the code.

And when you've started come here with your problems to ask
Pretty much this. I first started out with just modifying addons, and mostly, that's still what I do. I would recommend starting out with changing up oUF layouts. Try taking something nice and simple, such as NC_KillingBlow, and making it print something on levelups, instead of killing blows.
