I have "Tekla not connected". How to fix?

[@victorstrembitskiy7171]

Thanks for this video. I'm a Tekla Structures user and I would rate myself rather advanced than intermediate user. I know nothing about Tekla Open API and actually nothing about programming but I'd really love to learn creating own plug-ins for Tekla. What would you say, what kind of basic knowledge I must have first to be able to start learning building own plug-ins with Tekla API? Thanks.
