medusa193 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 My programming experience is limited to Pascal circa 1980. Do I understand correctly that AutoIT is based on C++? If not, which language? Regardless, can anyone suggest a very good primer (online material, book or ebook) with which I can teach myself the language used by AutoIT? Thanks!

Moderators Melba23 Posted October 3, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 3, 2011 medusa193, Welcome to the AutoIt forum. the language used by AutoITAutoIt is the language! The interpreter is written in C++, but that is transparent to the user. AutoIt is very much like BASIC - the syntax is not difficult. I would suggest you start by reading the Help file (at least the first few sections - Using AutoIt, Tutorials and the first couple of References) - as this will help you enormously. You should also look at the excellent tutorials that you will find here and here - you will find other tutorials in the Wiki (the link is at the top of the page). There are even video tutorials on YouTube if you prefer watching to reading. And you also have this forum when you run into difficulties. However, when you post here it always helps if you have had a go at solving your problems beforehand. Having some code to work on is a great help - and no-one here is too keen to help the "code it for me" brigade. Think of the old saying: "Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; give a man a net and you feed him forever". We try to be net makers and repairers, not fishmongers. Have fun - we all do!
