I am getting interested making my own Script Placer for WaW, it doesn't have to be anything crazy just something simple maybe. I want to get into programming and things like that so I thought this would be fun. Basically my questions are 1. What programs would I need to do this 2. What programming languages would these programs use and 3. How do I do this from here

I hope you can be supportive of this idea of mine. I hope you can answer my questions and help me through this.
Thanks!

I followed these instructions exactly and nothing shows up in Maya. I am using Maya 2014, and I had to create usersetup.mel so nothing was in it and I copied   python("import CoDMayaTools");  into the file and then saved it and opened Maya, I dont get an error, there just isnt the CodMayaTools tab on the top. Ive been trying this for a few hours and nothing seems to work. Any help is great thanks.

1) Download the script below and save it to My Documents\maya\<maya version>\scripts\.
2) In the same folder, create usersetup.mel (if you don't already have one). Add this code to the end of the file:

python("import CoDMayaTools");

3) Restart Maya
