My first World Of Warcraft AddOn, ok so I found a nice tutorial on WowWiki – http://www.wowwiki.com/AddOn_programming_tutorial/Introduction .

## Interface: 40000
## Title: Hello World!
## Notes: My first AddOn
HelloWorld.lua
HelloWorld.xml

- HelloWorld.lua

function HelloWorld()
  print("Hello World!");
end

- HelloWorld.xml

  <Script File="HelloWorld.lua"/>
  <Frame name="HelloWorldFrame">
    <Scripts>
      <OnLoad>
        HelloWorld();
      </OnLoad>
   </Scripts>
  </Frame>
</Ui>

And there if you look in the chat console ‘Hello World!’. Kungla is so impressed he needs to have a proper long sit down.
