saywell Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 This follows a post on a recent thread, but I feel a specific thread is more appropriate!I have just taken delivery of this book:AutoIt [Paperback]Frederic P. Miller (Editor), Agnes F. Vandome (Editor), John McBrewster (Editor) Paperback: 74 pages Publisher: Betascript Publishing (13 Sep 2010) Language English ISBN-10: 6132815708 ISBN-13: 978-6132815705 Product Dimensions: 22.1 x 15 x 0.5 cm It's a complete rip-off and is going straight back to Amazon!I suggest that no one here even considers buying it!below is a copy of the review I have submitted to Amazon:This 74 page 'slim volume' costs £24 and is compiled entirely of articles copied from Wikipedia.Most of the articles are unrelated to the programming language AUTOIT - 2 1/2 pages only!! There is no reference to how to program in this language other than a 'Hello World' message box example.In short, I consider this to be a total rip-off and if there were an option to award zero stars, I would have used it! Thank goodness for the Amazon returns policy.If you want to learn AutoIT coding, there's a wealth of help in its helpfile, in the online wiki, and from the very knowledgeable user community in the help forums.http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/forum/2-general-help-and-support/http://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Main_PageI say again: "DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK" Be warned!Regards,William
