 Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 8:40 pm Post subject: Wishing for a new page to the documentation |
 |
|
The AHK documentation has made good progress over the past couple years or so. I'm wishing for some on I guess some more advanced logical and math operations, which are a weak point for me.
For instance:
| Code: | else if ((action = "get") || (action = "roll")) && (GetNextNum != 0)
|
In the AHK documentation where to find the double pipes? The double ampersands? This is just one example. It slows down my learning to have difficulty finding specific instruction. I'd really find that useful.
Thanks for your attention.

Well I appreciate that HugoV. I'm still thinking of the many occasions I've found something that I've had to search a long time to learn about, but I can't remember any specific examples right now. I guess dereferencing vars is one but that's only one.
And I agree; examples are very helpful. The documentation has improved quite a lot over the past couple years, BTW. |

The documentation of Ahk is not aimed to learn programming and the language itself. Its more like dictionary. Thats why beginners have problems to learn, but pros know where they can find specific information, or where to search for at least.
Ahk lacks an tutorial which sees the whole thing separated in different categories for learning. I mean, something like a book. (I did begin to work on something in German, but its a never ending story.)

Yes, I think you understand. There has been great progress over the past few years. Not just in the code but in the documentation. The difference between a manual and a command reference is real, but I still appreciate what we have.
Speaking just for myself, I never intended to learn AHK. I just found myself using it more and more.  |
