Popular Post Jfish Posted July 23, 2015 Popular Post Posted July 23, 2015 This forum (Au3 Technical) is inhabited by luminaries whose posts frequently demonstrate understanding far beyond my capabilities. For that reason, and at Jon's suggestion, I am reaching out to tap into your wisdom for a project that I have been working on a for a while. I was looking for a way to give back to AutoIt. As a self-taught programmer I have learned an incredible amount from this forum and the help file. It has been very rewarding. Over the course of my personal experiences I have wished, at times, that even though the materials and support are truly incredible - that someone could explain some of the more basic concepts. At the same time, I saw the creation of code.org and I started to think that AutoIt would be a perfect learning tool for people starting out (because of the simplicity, the incredible help file, and the best forum I have ever seen). All of that led to the creation of this text: https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/files/file/351-learn-to-program-using-free-tools-with-autoit/. It is the first draft of a basic introduction to programming using AutoIt. Nobody has reviewed it. Accordingly, I seek the collective constructive feedback of anyone willing to offer opinion as to content, spot any errors, and make any suggestions to improve it. My goal was always to donate it to the AutoIt forum when it was done. I think it could be a good addition to fill the gap for neophytes who may crave to see how everything fits together. The last thought I will leave you with - similar to the first - is that I am not the world's greatest coder (this may be a case of those who can do and those who can't teach). That said, I am hoping that the issues you will undoubtedly spot are not huge or threatening to the overall effort and that you appreciate the fact that this took some time to pull together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Shaheen288, Skysnake, jaberwacky and 13 others 16 Build your own poker game with AutoIt: pokerlogic.au3 | Learn To Program Using FREE Tools with AutoIt

jaberwacky Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Seems written in a gentle yet persuasive manner. Good read so far! Have noticed a few minor typos:Page 6:1) "We will start of by studying core concepts and will demonstrate them in actual programs that you can build and run." of to offPage 7:1) "And did I mention it was FREE." Should that have a question mark?2) "That vocabulary word is not terribly important at the moment other than to note that the there are other names for other types of numbers." that the there3) "So what’s in a name you ask? What difference does it make what I call a number that I want to use?" Make it more literal otherwise it seems like you're asking the reader this question."So what's in a name? What difference does it make what I call a number that I want to use," you ask? Somehting like that.Page 81) "Many languages will make you “declare” your datatype before you starting using it." Starting to start2) "One of the nice things about AutoIt is that is a “looser” language." is that it isPage 111) "Likewise, using <=18 to determine who is not eligible would lead to the false conclusion that someone who’s age is equal to 18 is not eligible." who's to whosePage 121) "Many of them are intuitive because we have seen t hem before outside of programming."

Funny, that is a placeholder for an actual link to the source examples which I have not done yet. I will need to make sure I have them all in a nice organized way and post them as a separate file.
