# Guides

(Written) guides:

* [Sovde's GitBook](https://sovdee.gitbook.io/skript-tutorials/): An excellent tutorial that teaches a wide variety of lessons and features, written by someone who knows what they're talking about.
* [SyntaSk](https://x8ight.gitbook.io/syntask) (this site): Refer to the [Home page](/syntask/home.md) for an overview of what this site has to offer.
* skUnity's Little Helper: A Discord bot in the skUnity server, has a bunch of custom slash commands to send informational embeds and links to external tutorials.

Video tutorials (not really recommended, there are currently no high-quality tutorials in video form.)

* [MineHut's YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIpzRWdgO_I\&list=PL34SSaSWNChTFvDSspJ56Tvm5sH4sS4mn\&pp=iAQB): Short videos outlining how to get started in Skript, but are quite basic and sometimes showcase outdated addons.
* [Fan Staaff's YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HauDIZpBLhU\&list=PLOfG6yqaL9WliH_7OjVwl9E9edAH8lb3o\&pp=iAQB/): Well made and covers many topics, but relies heavily on outdated and inferior addons, and has sloppy habits and code that may imprint on those who are unaware.
* It's Jackson's YouTube (3 parts): "[Old Tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q70iETUCqVo\&list=PLrL3QRNBgLMlMQeTfPOaK29BSNU9_VI1w\&pp=iAQB)", "[tutorials](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEeY7bJYzR4\&list=PLrL3QRNBgLMlZclFU8dlJBv301zk9ZFRd\&pp=iAQB)", "[Minute Skripts](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxqLlc2JJpk\&list=PLrL3QRNBgLMk1YSPG9_DuHjhtv8Hk3kZL\&pp=iAQB)": Relies heavily on outdated and inferior addons, and has sloppy habits and code that may imprint on those who are unaware.

See the [Outdated Addons page](/syntask/outdated-addons.md) for up-to-date alternatives to outdated addons.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
You can also search for other tutorials, but you should be wary. When looking through the internet you may find excellent information, however you should also be wary of the author's validity.

The downside to the internet is that anyone can upload anything; regardless of its prestigiousness or their expertise. Be careful who's teachings you follow, they may lead to you developing or reinforcing bad habits.
