If you're just starting with Chivalry modding, check out Tutorial: Creating the "Giant Slayers" mod

If you're just starting with learning to code in UnrealScript for Unreal Engine 3, your main resources will be: 

• Unreal Developer Network,
• UnrealWiki, 
• UDK Forums. 
• our Additional Resources page.
   

Important UDN pages:

• UnrealScript – home for UnrealScript things
• UnrealScript Language Reference
• Networking & Replication – learn all about UE3's networking setup
   

Supplementary documentation here on our Wiki:

• Modding Guides – step-by-step guides
• Replication – a supplement to the UDN "Networking & Replication" page, including some common traps you might fall into, and hopefully clarifying some things that might not make sense on the first read of the UDN documentation.
• UE3 programming pitfalls – some common problems and mistakes that might arise as you work with UnrealScript
• Kismet – explains some things about Kismet from a programmer's point-of-view
   

If you'd like to see an example of a Chivalry mod, check out:

• Instagib is a simple example mod that replaces every game mode with an Instagib-equivalent where players die in one hit
• NabsterHax' example mod on the forums
• Chivalry Medieval Warfare: TK Punishment Mod uses .uci files to reduce code duplication when extending from Chivalry classes
• The Swords & Jetpacks example mod on GitHub
   

In terms of programming in general, you'll want to be at least familiar with Object-Oriented Programming, which is the paradigm that UnrealScript follows. That's beyond the scope of this document, but there are many resources, courses, books, etc. out there on the topic.
