Dont learn to code with the intention of selling it. You will make an ass of yourself and likely release some pretty bad scripts...

And look into learning regular Lua first, it makes gLua easier

I think he was more of referencing the actual addons on scriptfodder

Not making it to sell i was just using it as an example because i want my server to be unique you know? i want to make my own addons. not to sell i had no intention on that.

Well good for you then! Original is great. But work with lua in something easy like TouchLua if you have an Iphone and then move into gLua.

You really don't need to start with vanilla Lua to do gLua.

Honestly, jumping straight into programming for gmod will probably be the best way for him to learn. If he tries to learn by doing shit he doesn't like he will most likely lose interest.
