I think it is time we organized all the resources and people who want to learn and help us. So I created a more formal School thread:
Learning to start modding C2C (and Civ) is very easy.
XML
Learning XML is basically just learning to edit.

If you can open notepad and learn to type,
then you can learn to easily edit XML.
1. Open notepad.
2. Find C2C XML file,
save a copy and rename to .txt, to look at it.
(modders please suggest some examples.
3. move things around, and learn tags.
It's that easy.
If you already know a little word processing or html you are more experienced than you think! It's mostly learning to tag correctly.
Tech
Tech editing is mostly learning how to edit the XML and making correct placements.

not that it all applies to C2C now.
XML really is easy.
Sometimes all you need to know is how to edit the order.
So basic modding in C2C/CIV is relatively easy.
Once you know how to edit, and mess around a bit in xml:
Talk to people in these forums and find a partner.
Remember that the ModTeam is very busy,
so you may want to partner with another player or apprentice to start.
It is good to find someone to learn to edit with, so you can help each other out!
and let us know right here!
So we can all learn how to improve C2C together!
Anyone new want to learn how to help with C2C?
