Q&A
Q: What are the best current resources for learning more about scripting?
The LSL portal in the Second Life wiki should be your bible: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LSL_Portal .
I still refer to it every time to look up the correct spelling of a function name and/or to check the
parameters it requires. Copying and pasting the syntax avoids wasted time looking for a bug caused by
misspelling or by the wrong parameter type.
An older resource is lslwiki.net, but I’m not sure how up-to-date that is. However, some of the functions
are better described there than in the SL wiki.
Don’t read it all at once. Just take the time to look up the one or two functions that you need.
