So... where to get started?

I want have an idea for a Rust mod and I want to develop it. For programming languages, I have some basic experience with Visual Basic and no experience with C#. I've had a read through the API page.

...So what should I do first? I haven't had much luck finding any guides. Should I be learning C# in some other way first or jump right in?

 

Learning C# might be the best idea to IMO. But you can also check out other plugins and learn from them

 

Go look at some plugins, especially if they are close to what you want to do.

Everlight is a simple clean example of the basic structure using the latest api calls. Copy that and edit it to make your own one. Read and learn. It is how I have been doing it. I knew zero C Sharp and muddled my way through. It is not too bad a language and most of the developers here write clean readable code. I do wish they would comment more, but I am old school.
