ISXeve capabilities and learning

I have been having a hard time locating documentation on ISXEVE's capabilities. I am trying to learn how to script with it, but I am new to programming (though I have messed around a little with some basic stuff). What I have in mind would require either tagging or broadcasting (I would perfer tagging as it has a larger range of uses) If someone could kindly point me in the right direction of the information I would gladly dig through it myself, but I am blind when it comes to finding the information to dig through.

BTW I am going to attempt to make a WH site script using several toons. If I get it to work I could probly release a script to deal with C1/2 sites though I haven't decided on how siince most variables will be hard coded for my specific setup and I think make those into variables might be a pain, but we will see.

Thanks

I would suggest looking through my salvaging script. It's simple/straightforward and, if you look through it slowly and methodically, you should be able to see how everything works: http://www.isxgames.com/forums/showthread.php/2111-EVESalvage-v-3-2

Then, look through all of the script releases that are free (there are a lot of them) at http://www.isxgames.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/32-Script-Releases ....Again, just follow them through from beginning to end and see how everything works.

The ISXEVE wiki is out-of-date, but still very worthwhile (as it has most all of the important/basic things in it.) http://isxeve.isxgames.com/wiki

Obviously, all of this will be very difficult if you've never programmed before; however, it is doable. If you're a complete newbie to programming with lavishscript, you'll want to find somewhere in the script a function that looks like:
Code: 
function main()
{
....
This will be the 'heart' of the script. Everything will be called from that function. So, if you start following it, then it should be obvious how everything else in the script file is executed.


Otherwise, I have to tell you that there are no shortcuts to learning how to program, regardless of the language. It takes a lot of time and patience, but it is doable. I looked at my first bit of programming in 1995 and taught myself EVERYTHING (I've never had a single class or instructor for any programming language whatsoever.)
