About Jass...

In just the normal Warcraft 3 Editor, I know just about everything. However, I know absoultely no JASS so I would like to ask a few questions.

1.
a) Is JASS worth learning?
b) What can I do with it, that I can't do with the normal Editor?

2.
a) Is it easy to learn?
b) When I first started editing Warcraft III it was all so hard, but as soon as I learned more, it became easier and easier to keep learning. Is this the same with JASS? Once I learn a bit of it, it'll become easier and easier?

Please answer these questions,
Eriond

Yes, it is. It is faster than clicking through the dialogs once you are familiar with it.

Local variables, Multiboards, Issue...OrderById, ...

That depends on if you have ever learned a programming language. But then if you don't, you have the additional benefit of having learned to program.

Yes, once you are familiar with the basics, it becomes easier and easier.
