UI Modding Newbie

[karis]

I would like to get into modding the UI for EQ2. I have no expierence with doing this in EQ Live. The reason I thought I might give it a shot for EQ2 is that I have some basic knowledge of XML.

How do I get started with modding the interface? is there a program I can run or is it just tearing through the code and figuring things out through trial and error?

If anyone has a good doc. or link to a site that might help me get started with the basics, I would love to get it.
