Help with the editor

[ForestofWonders]

Hey guys, i know how to make some cool things in the editor but i am completley new to JASS and was wondering if i could get some help getting the basics down? i read through a couple posts but they just confused the hell out of me, with talk of booleans and integers and whatever else, can i please get some help here?
Cheers

Just get NewGen, and start making GUI spells, converting them, and eventually wright your own scripts. You can learn alot by converting your own work. Use NewGens function lists well, and replace globals and BJ functions. You'll get the hang of it

Cheers man, i'm going to have a look at this New gen thing

If you don't understand what an integer or boolean is you should look up some basic numbers and logic tutorials on programming in general--they are pretty much the same in any language, and they're fundamental to its behaviour.
