Short question
-
Hey there. I've been using sketchup for around 3-4 years now and had some great ideas for plugins, but I have absolutely no idea how to code/program with ruby or any other programming language.
I've already been to the Ruby website and followed through on the tutorials that teach you how to execute simple commands such as "print" as well as how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. However, I still have absolutely no idea how to take the next large step and actually figure out how to script something more useful than a "hello world" script.
Can any of you point me to a good resource to start out with? Would a formal class be necessary?

Have you tried the two here?

I also have put together some YouTube videos on script writing. The first one is similar to the first tutorial in the Link that Honolulu posted. It shows what software I recommend, and what my workflow is. It can be found here:

And then check out all the other videos in the "Writing SketchUp Ruby" series. I think there are 6 total at this point. I add more little by little as I think of something interesting to show in a video.
