Should present AutoIT in the company i work - some feedback?


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

i'm a little 20 years old guy that works in a company which programs software for some ... ehm, ... "ISP", but for mobil phones... dont know the word :)

Every time we get a new employee, i need to set up a new computer (or format an old) - install windows, install updates, office 2000, firefox, some oracle-tools, and so on.

I created far ago some AutoIT scripts that helped me, they were very usful. But now i've got a new Boss (...), and he's not overzealous, on the fact, that i (or "we") use this scripts, because some of them (maybe 20 percent) are buggy, so i had to install or customize some things manually.

Okay, he said, i should write a documentation for autoit, and how we could use it in our company. Some days later, i should "hold a presentation about autoit".

You see, my english is not very good - i'm a german. But, on acronym is used in germany too: wtf d(:lol:)b

You will ask yourself, why this guy want getting help in an english forum... cause here are many geeks that could help me :whistle:

I wrote a short Index for my presentation - maybe you could give me some interesting examples, correct or add points?

Introduction (What situation is given, what we could need to optimize our processes)

AutoIT
- What is AutoIT?
- How it works?
- Features of AutoIT (Filemanagement, Window-Interaction, usw.)
- Little Tutorial - some Source shown

AutoIT in Company-Context

- Situation given (no automated installations, all done manually)
- Why AutoIT? (no tools available for customized installations on different hardware [->no imaging], freeware, huge range of possibilities)

How we could use AutoIT
- Create full automated installations of software-packages [office, firefox, acrobat reader, and so on)
- Create a algorythm to restart between the installations
- Create Scripts that are usful for customizing Windows (delete shortcuts in startmenu, set a specified background-wallpaper, copy profiles, settings or keys into program-folders (like the WinRar-Key-File)

---> Combine several scripts to a full automated installation of Software-Packages, customized Settings and Profiles

Examples
- Show some user defined functions (cause they clarify that autoit is MORE than just interact with windows an copy some files to some destination dirs)
- Maybe one or two easy tutorials (Interact with Windows (not m$ windows *g*), Automate an Installation)

If the presentation will get an positiv reputation, we will use AutoIT,... oh no, "i will use it"...

Feedback? :)

Attention! English noob ^^

It looks like you have more than the general idea on how AutoIt works. It looks like you will do fine.

This is a German forum maintained by peethebee.

I read this and thought it was funny:

I understood you perfectly, but I want to point out that you would want to say, "long ago".

The best way to re-phrase the above would be to say:

I created some AutoIt scripts a long time ago that helped me and were quite useful.

Just reading your sig. :whistle:

Be sure to point them to this forum at some point. AutoIt's popularity cannot be ignored. (Except by my company).

i cant believe i understood that.

Anyways, Be sure to push the "free" and "easy to learn" factors of the program, along with the fact that it has a proven user base, help is easy to get (and also Free) and perhaps show of a small library of applications that have been done by other users.
