Become a WoW AddOn Developer

Follow the WADG system to realize your potential!

Who is this guide for?

Are you a World of WarCraft player and:

• There is a default UI element that drives you crazy with it's behaviour?
• You'd like to have a particular feature that no addOn nor the default UI implements?
• An abandoned addOn that you have kept alive no longer works despite all your efforts?
• You started working on your addOn idea by going through the online sources. But you didn't make much progress because it's not clear what information you need and where to find it?
• You have programming experience and you understood what it would take to write the addOn you’d like to have: Diverting the limited time you have to play the game towards scouring the internet at every step of the way...

Are you interested in learning how to code for fun or as a hobby?

Would you like to expand your skill set to UI programming and design?

WADG has got you covered! WADG will boost you and also be your training wheels.

WADG offers the opportunity to master WoW addOn development in the most optimal way. No risk of wasting your time or falling off due to getting stuck in tutorial hell.

Why Is This Guide Different Than Others?

• Introduces all the necessary concepts in a meaningful order.
• Teaches technical details at an appropriate pace.
• Accompanies you through a software development & design adventure to showcase your unique ideas. The knowledge you'll gain will extend beyond WoW addOn development.

• Jump-start your own addOn by using the code patterns from UIChanges.

Now you get to make a decision

You can continue putting up with an unsatisfactory UI.

You can continue to piece together wiki pages & random posts and expect the same outcomes.

Or you can choose to direct your efforts towards getting on the guided path for actual progress.

Stop playing with a suboptimal UI and create the BiS UI for you!
