Hello. I have recently had an urge to start and learn how these magical things called turtles work. I have learnt you program them using lua. I have never actually done any computer programming before but I want to try to learn some. Any tips or online guides you know of would help immensely. Thanks!

I recently started learning LUA. You are going to need to know how to write and read LUA. I've been using this website, I think Saice linked it to me, but I can't remember. http://lua.gts-stolberg.de/en/index.php?uml=1
Hmm... lemme see if I tagged this guy ... brb...
Please watch that series ... you will learn very well how to program and use turtles from this guys series.
Edit: He shows a turtle losing its fuel when he breaks it - even after he labels it. This must be an old thing, because now the turtles keep their fuel when you break them so long as they have been labeled. He shows you how to do that.

Instead of trying to write a program from scratch, modify the "built-in" programs. Open the turtle interface:
> mkdir /myprogs
> cp /rom/programs/turtle/tunnel /myprogs/myTunnel
> cd /myprogs
> edit myTunnel
Now change the tunnel program to dig a 1x2 tunnel and to place blocks on the sides, top, and bottom if they are missing. Take turtle to the nether and you've got a handy and safe way to cross the sea of lava to that fortress you scouted out.

so i tried to to make my own tree code without re-watching that video...
i dont know how to insert a picture right so this might not work
but my turtle flew into space to say the least

The computer craft wiki is very good. They have some nice tutorials and information on some of the apis. Also if you haven't already, craft a turtle and type "help" in the interface (dont use the speech marks they are only there so to avoid ambiguity as to which word i meant). The in game help is surprisingly extensive
