Looking for some LUA tutorial to create a Depth of Field Toggler addon

I like ESO's Depth of Field while in dialogue, but don't like it on the scenery while adventuring.
So, anyone knows a good place to get some tutorials on how to create a "simple" addon like that?
I've been wanting to create this auto-toggle, so it can activate the DoF only during conversations, by auto enabling/disabling it when we enter/leave the dialogue screen.

    A full tutorial would be a bit redundant, the circonian stamina bar tutorial gives the basics for creating an addon. After that you just need to find the specific API calls you are looking for. Specifically you need to know the EVENT types for the thing you are worried about (entering/exiting dialog) and how to actually change the setting. I did a little poking around, and I found this which may help you.

    Events that are probably related to the dialog interactions with this game:
    EVENT_CHATTER_BEGIN (number eventCode, number optionCount)
    EVENT_CHATTER_END (number eventCode)
    

    Function to change base game settings:
    SetSetting(SETTING_TYPE_GRAPHICS, SI_GRAPHICS_OPTIONS_VIDEO_DEPTH_OF_FIELD, string value, number SetOptions setOptions)
    

    Function to figure out what your value string should be
    GetSetting(SETTING_TYPE_GRAPHICS, SI_GRAPHICS_OPTIONS_VIDEO_DEPTH_OF_FIELD)
    

    I pulled most of this up in a few minutes of poking around, so I didn't really fact check everything. If the events I provided are actually correct, then your Addon can be as short as registering two events, where one event is hard coded to turn depth on and the other hard coded to turn it off. Probably < 10 lines of code.
