Pre-requisite knowledge
Our documentation assumes some familiarity with programming. Before getting started, it'll help if you're comfortable with:
- Python 2.7 (the WoT client scripting layer targets Python 2.7)
- ActionScript 3 (required for UI mod development)

If you're new to modding, start with Getting Started before diving into Guides or the API Reference.
