Have you ever wanted to modify something in World of Warcraft to enhance your gaming experience? Is there a shortcut that you'd love to use but it just doesn't exist yet? The beauty of WoW add-ons is that, in many cases, you can bring some life to your idea and make it a reality. The ingenuity of some add-on creators out there has never ceased to amaze me, but I've always been hesitant to dive in and create one on my own.
WoWAce.com offers a system of developer tools to help you create your own add-ons. The site itself is very clean and easy to use. They state that both new and experienced coders can benefit from using Ace which, in a sense, is true. However, you should at least brush up on the basics of Lua before attempting to dive in.
The real beauty of Ace lies in its extremely active developer community. The wealth of knowledge available in the existing posts and knowledge base as well as the thousands of members who seem willing to help out with newb questions is impressive.
Folks not interested in creating their own add-ons can still benefit from visiting the site as well, with information on well over 1,000 active add-ons created with Ace readily available.
