One day, hopefully soon™, I'll get to reading that book, and others like it, as well.

Good luck with it.

Good luck! I was too lazy for books, I just took existing UIs and started messing with them. Simple things at first like changing colours and positions, on to functions and all that. Now I'm at uni doing IT so it all connects pretty well

Thanks guys!

@Haleth: Yeah, it's the same thing I started out with! But I have had big issues wrapping my head around functions and all useable variables and such. The book describes it quite well IMO and it helps getting a bigger understanding of it all As I come from a background where I've never touched any programming at all, it's still a lot of configuration. But I'm devoted, I managed to learn to play the guitar on my own so I'm confident this will work out good too with a little bit of understanding
