Can Someone Give Me a Complete Schedule/Tutorial for Learning how to Script?
-- Before I start, I just want to say that I hope this doesn't get taken down. I've asked this on the main roblox forums and got no formidable answers. I looked on the wiki and the tutorial only goes so far as the basics. I looked up this question in the search bar and nothing appeared. I've also looked at youtube tutorials and have completed peaspod's. Even though I've completed the tutorial, I still don't know many things and it's frustrating because I just don't know where to go and what to put together to actually learn things, so I'm coming here as a last resort of sorts. So please can someone just give me a list of things that I can do in order, or maybe things that I need to get done in order to learn to become a pro scripter. My problem is that i'm bad at knowing where to go next, thanks guys. (P.S. I already know most of the basics such as variables, strings, tables, etc.)

This isn't really easy to answer. For every developer out there.
Most developers got started, by reading what we could and learning what we could to become developers. Some people catch on quick and they go on to learn more and more about the subject. Others learn slowly and actually implement the things they read to catch on.
Either way, coding is really fun, you can make something from nothing. I really enjoy it. I love it in fact. I'm sure someone can answer this question for you and provide you with a complete schedule for you to learn. I'm not. Being a developer means solving problems, it means having an initiative and doing what you can for yourself. Therefore you should acquire the skills to solve this problem on your own.
To give you some tips however. Learn expressions and operators, don't learn them for the sake of it. Let it soak in and get to you. UNDERSTAND It. Because if you do you can apply it to any language you learn. Next understand conditional statements, If, and if else statements. Learn switch statements, learn all the statements you can. Again these apply to most languages out there. Afterwards learn how to implement loops and learn how to control them. This is also important in learning how to code. After you've done those things brush up on your math.. your gonna be using it a lot. I forgot but somewhere along the way learn how to use Variables.
Once you've done all of that look at the wiki. The wiki is amazingly helpful. Then rewatch those you tube videos.. you'll now understand if your actually wasting your time. And most importantly. Try it yourself, Try it yourself again, Try it yourself one more time, before posting a question to ask for help from another developer.
Coding is truly fun <3 I hope you make something great.
Hey Stadow!
t0ny did a wonderful (and ample) job explaining programming, so I'm just going to build on his answer. Here's an article I recently wrote on that same subject. It's essentially what t0ny said, with a few extra bits of information that ought to help you flesh out your understanding of programming a bit better.
Have a nice day, Stadow, and best of luck learning to program!
Cheers,
