Addon help for the noob

I'm looking to make my first addon, but I'm not really sure where to start. The addon I'm looking at will be patterned after PAE, but much simpler. Is anybody familiar with that addon that can help me out? Thanks!

I take it you are talking about Pet Auto Event.

I'm not familiar with that add-on, but if you have other questions. You can always ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Edit:
Oh yeah, welcome to the wonderful wacky world of add-on development.

I'm not familiar with it too, but I guess your first questions should be general enough to be able to answer them without detailed knowledge of the code itself.

What do you want to know? How to catch events? Addon structure? Guides?
If I may give you a hint: Don't use dynamic frames for your first addon if you are working on a gui. The widget methods are kind of incomplete and you might notice stuff like editboxes freaking out, properties being unsettable, etc...
