I just got a MaNGOS server up and running and now I want to start digging in and seeing how things work. Problem is I really don't know where to start looking. I'm not interested in changing the core code itself just learning how scripting works and how the database relations work.
I have had quite a bit of experience with programming though I wouldn't presume to call myself a programmer - more like a 'hacker' in the original sense of the work (if at first it doesn't succeed, keep hacking away at the program until it does!). I have done live webs with Postgres as the back end using PHP (it was easy once you got the hang of how they work together) and MySQL is proving to be just as easy.
I have used EQEmu in the past and worked on the pearl scripts without any difficulty but this idea of having the scripts in the database throws me off. Is there anything like a tutorial to show how to get started with the scripting?
Also, I have a few problems in game. Things like Warlock Demon skin buffs lasting only a few seconds and quitting if the player gets hit. Are spell problems database related or core related? Any links to informative web pages appreciated.
Thanks!
Just starting, need pointers

Thanks - I've been trying to figure out where the home pages are for many things (including databases) but googling isn't a lot of help as there's just so MUCH out there referring to them.
Bravo Zulu!
