ok so i have the following files in interface/addons/Hello_World and i cant even get it to show up in the AddOns section in the login screen.

HelloWorld.toc

## Infrance: 20000
## Title: Hello World
## Notes: Plz work
## Dependences:
HelloWorld.lua
Helloworld.xml

HelloWorld.lua

function HelloWorld()
Message("HelloWorld!");
end

HelloWorld.xml

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/
..\..\FrameXML\UI.xsd">

<Frame name="HelloWorldFrame">
<scrips>
<onload>
HelloWorld();
</onload>
</scrips>
</frame>

</Ui>

if someone could explain to me where i went wrong and why this set up does not work i would greatly appreciate it.

Lua and XML are Case Sensitive first off. There's a bunch of typos too.
Changes are in Bold

HelloWorld.toc

Code:

## Interface: 20000
## Title: Hello World
## Notes: Plz work
## Dependences:
HelloWorld.xml

HelloWorld.lua

Code:

function HelloWorld()
     DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("HelloWorld!");
end

HelloWorld.xml

Code:

<Ui xmlns="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.blizzard.com/wow/ui/ 
..\..\FrameXML\UI.xsd"> 
<Script file="HelloWorld.lua"/>
<Frame name="HelloWorldFrame">
     <Scripts>
          <OnLoad>
               HelloWorld();
          </OnLoad>
     </Scripts>
</Frame>

</Ui>

I'd recommend taking a look at http://wow.nevir.net/tutorial/hello_world/
