AutoHotKey
« on: February 25, 2008, 05:31 AM »
I just got into it and the guys here seem pretty good. The tut on the AHK website only covers so much. Do you guys have, or know of, any good tuts. Anyone willing to mentor me for a short period of time?

Hi bnstg!

I think the best way to learn ahk, is to read the help file (which has a few tuturials and example source code), and when you're somewhat familiar with it, read skrommel's coding snacks (www.1hoursoftware.com).
Also, helping around our coding snacks section would give you good examples to get some training ;)

just reading about discussions regarding AHK can help you in picking up a few tips. see here for brotherS' thread - Living without AutoHotkey - possible? ;)

also a forum search search with the words - AHK and help: http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=search2;search=autohotkey+help
