    I'm certainly no expert, but I can definitely point you into the right places to start.

    First and foremost, learn about the tools you'll be using. The popular IDE (Integrated Development Environment) program is Eclipse. It's much more detailed and in-depth than programs such as Notepad++ and makes Error tracking several times easier! Not only that, but Eclipse has an Auto-Compile feature that compiles your code changes as soon as you save the document, which is super handy! Most sources you'll come across are written in Java, so having a bit of knowledge of the Language certainly helps as well as it makes debugging a little easier.

    You can find and Download Eclipse for free Here

    After that you'll need a source, which there is no shortage of in the RS2 Download section. The package will come with 2 folders, A Source folder, and a Client folder. Both of these must be loaded into Eclipse by selecting File > New > Java Project, Unchecking the Default Folder checkbox and selecting your Source and Client Folders. Once you've done that you're good to go. It's all about surfing through labeled packages to see what does X thing to X object and so forth.

    Beginners tip: You'll find some vital information for your server in the Config/Configuration.java files located in both your Client and Server folders.

    Also decide what you are trying to do with your server, do you just wanna mess around with yourself, friends; or add custom things to your liking

    Also a big thing is how much money you plan on spending. If it's just for you, then you probably don't have to worry about much, but servers can get expensive very quickly. Lots of maintenance work and paying devs for quick fixes etc. Most people will give you a few tips, but don't expect any major help without shelling out some cash. With that being said you have to think about what revision you want. 07, OSRS, RS3 etc. Tons of sources out there and tons of different caches. Do you want a pk/spawning server or eco? Like Anatomical said are you going to want custom things? Theres tons of guides out there for specific things, but if you don't understand basic java concepts it's gonna be some ass starting off. I've tutored/gotten tutored and that helps a ton so if you can find someone to help you, then hop on that asap. But tutoring is incredibly annoying and most of the people in the rsps community will refuse and say they don't spoon feed. But lots of guides out there just gotta know what you want

    Trial and error is the best way forward, don't forgot to back up for source and client after every successful update too.

    When I first started out I learnt a hell of a lot from this book:

    Just a few tips...

    Documentation! Most things in RSPS are well documented read up on them. This goes double for your tools as well spend time reading documentation.

    Explore! Explore the GUI on your IDE, Read through the preferences and settings, It's not just a text editor there are thousands of little features packed into those things and knowing about them will save you tons of time!

    Download and read the code of some of the best servers. This will help you learn about basic Java API and inform you of easy concise ways to manipulate code. Also you will reproduce whatever code you read it's best to examine best practice in practice especially for first / early exposure. In addition to this don't just copy them read the Java API there are 100 ways to do any given thing in a programming language question why the person who wrote the code did it the way they did try to understand.
