Well, I've some knowledge about PHP and Javascript, but never contribute to a real project. I would like begin to help the community and improve my programmer skills. What tips and ways the experience coders says to me start to coding with the platform?

start looking at popular mods on the mod site, read the code and learn how it works. then make changes to it and go from there.

That's what I did and is great advice. Start on small mods then grow as you get bigger..

I 've implemented a mod using ajax about update posting display on topics. The mod consists in refresh the page when there are a new post in this topic. It's a simple mod, I create the querys in the one new archive .php, but I modify the archive Display.template.php for include some javascript code and call the new archive php.

My problem is about integrating my code to the project. I have no experience with real projects, only knowledge for programming.

Nice! Great addition for SMF 2.1 . The animated gif is neat too!
