Interested in UnrealScript?  This is probably the most powerful thing about editing with Unreal, as you can do anything imaginable with UnrealScript.

What is UnrealScript?  UnrealScript is a scripting language that Unreal uses that is similar to C++.  You can get it to do pretty much anything you want, as it is not limited to just performing certain functions like scripting CON files for Duke 3D.  Basically everything in the game has some programming of its own that you can change (not to mention make new stuff from scratch), you can change the behavior of characters, script events to happen in your levels, or go down to the very core of the game and change EVERYTHING from the ground up (Thus making a completely different and new game).

How do you learn?  Programming isn't something that is taught easily, and it is pretty safe to say you should learn to program first before trying to use UnrealScript.  Like I said before, it most resembles C++, so learning C++ would be your most valueable asset in getting on your way (as well as good knowledge for future education/employment).  Basically, a good knowledge of programming should help you be able to figure out the language by looking at code in the editor.
