Good scripting tutorial?

[kangirigungi]

First off, I want to say that I hate video tutorials when it comes to programming. It's much easier to go around with my own pace with a text-based tutorial, not to mention copy-pasting code. Is there a good non-video tutorial for scripting and plugin-making?

Not sure how experienced you are with object-oriented programming and/or JS already, so some of this may not be helpful...

I discovered this short beginner's tutorial for writing a plugin, by Trihan over on RMW:

There are also some stickied threads on RMW's Learning JavaScript board that you may find illuminating: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?forums/learning-javascript.127/

I've personally found MDN[developer.mozilla.org] invaluable; it offers a "Complete Beginners" section as well as detailed documentation of core JS features. ^_^

RMMV also uses the following (links are to online documentation):

• NW[docs.nwjs.io] (Node) and
  
• PIXI[pixijs.download]

You probably won't really need to know much about these unless you're trying to heavily alter the engine or use GLSL filters, etc.

Also, all of an RMMV project's scripts can be found in its js subfolder, so you can browse through the base scripts and/or existing plugins at your leisure~

I know programming well, but I'm only marginally familiar with JavaScript. Now I'm trying to figure out things by reading the code, but that first link you sent looks quite useful.
