World of Warcraft Programming: A Guide and Reference for Creating WoW Addons

Abstract

WoW is more than an acronym... it's what you'll say when you see how many ways you can tweak the interface after you read this book. If you're new to programming, we'll teach you the basics of Lua and XML and walk you through writing your first addon. If you already have some original addons in your arsenal, jump right into Parts III and IV and work with templates, function hooking, custom graphics, state headers, and more. We'll even help you distribute your addons, making WoW better for everybody.
