Is there a centralised 'modding vB' guide/document/resource?

Hi,
New here.

I'm looking to do some mods to a moderately sized vB system a friend runs.

Initially I was planning to just hack it, but thought it'd be nice if I can do it all 'properly', with plugins/a product.

I've been searching and reading the various guides etc on here, but having had no experience with vB before it's a bit confusing consolidating all this information into useful knowledge.

So, is there any centralised resource going through the basics of modding vB?
Even just some documents explaining the basics of what to use when would be a good start.

vbulletin.com

then go to the documentation

Thanks for the suggestion - sorry, should have mentioned that I had had a look through that.
Unless I'm being dumb, the only bits I could find really was the Developer Tools/Data Manager bit; couldn't see much else of use.

Cheers, that'll be some help hopefully.

I was hoping for more of a 'guide' to get started on the basics.
Had a bit more of a search with 'API' and it seems the lack of such a thing has come up before (2005) and I presume not been addressed yet .
