Hello,
I want to change some plugins to make them meet better my wishes, but to be clear, i dont have any knowledge in programming python, documentation inside the plugins is mostly not available, some code i dont find mentioned anywhere in the calibre docs (example: notifications.put()), code sometimes is not readable for me (everywhere i get told "Python is easyly to understand due to the easy way of programming").
I have read the documentation to write plugins but mostly i dont understand because to what i read it seems to be only a brief start and then the docu jumps to other section (all reading the plugins section), and before mentioned variables change completely, say i dont find a line to understand the whole thing.
So if anyone says "go away and learn basics", thats ok, but i want to understand!
So if anyone can tell me how to start, which IDE to use, whatever book to read or which site will tell the basics, tell me!
Thanks much in advance for any answer!
