The tutorials on the ROBLOX wiki can be very helpful. OBenjOne 190 — 6y

To the OP: @InfernoExeuctioner said that AlvinBlox is a good way to learn to script and I would just like to tell you, that he does not actually teach you anything. He just shows you the code without truly explaining what it does. I don't know too much about PeasFactory, but I have heard good things about him. I would recommend only the Wiki, personally. oreoollie 649 — 6y

Hello there!

One of the things that is really important for developers is having something that drives you.

Maybe you played a game on ROBLOX that really impressed you, or maybe you saw a video of a really cool creation. Regardless of what inspired you initially, you are here because you want to get better.

Something to note, is that many popular developers do not work alone. Each have something they are good at, sure, but that doesn't normally equate to an entire game. With that in mind, let's look at a few different types of developers:

  • Builder

    • Maps
    • Tools
    • Floor Plans
    • Models

  • Graphic Designer

    • Logos
    • Emblems
    • Icons
    • Clothing
    • Decals
    • Textures

  • Audio Designer

    • Sound Effects
    • Music
    • Dialog
    • Video Syncing

  • Scripter

    • Manipulates assets from all other fields to bring them to life
    • Manipulates other data structures

There are more types of Developers, but the list above was just to give you an idea of what is available. Out of all the things that each developer can do, sometimes they only pick one to specialize in, and that is okay.

What I recommend doing, is deciding exactly what kind of developer you want to be, and find a specialty. If it is scripting, you should learn the basics of scripting first, and then afterwards find that specialty.

YouTube is a great resource, simply look up tutorials relating to the topic or specialty to get started.

^ Adding on, if you are still interested in becoming a Programmer, then I suggest you read through this document. https://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html. It covers all the topics required for programming. Do not just look at it. You will never understand it that way. Actually study. Zafirua 1348 — 6y

You could use the offical roblox wiki: http://robloxdev.com/

Useful scripting youtubers:

AlvinBlox - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1R0TBvgM7gj0rwTYULmSA

PeasFactory - https://www.youtube.com/user/PeasFactory

And many more developers on youtube.

When you acquire a new skill, challenge yourself in making something new.

This is personally how I advanced my developing skills.

You should listen to InfernoExecutioner on where to learn scripting, and avoid deprecated code. Right now, just make scripts that do what you CAN do. Use your basic knowledge of coding. Don’t go and make a game like Jailbreak on day one. You’ll learn more and more every day. When you’re ready, start programming your own games, but don’t rush!
