Beginning Tips for Writing AutoHotkey Scripts (All File Formats)

Understanding How AutoHotkey Works and Designing Robust Applications

(EPUB format for iPad, iPhone, Android, and other devices and computers)

"As a new AutoHotkey scriptwriter, this may be the most important book you can read."

I wrote Beginning Tips for Writing AutoHotkey Scripts not as a tutorial, but as a guide to understanding how AutoHotkey processes scripts and how you can better design applications. For many new AutoHotkey users, the actions AutoHotkey takes when loading a script appear enigmatic causing unpredictable results. While initially many features may not seem to add up, AutoHotkey reads a script in a way that makes total sense—once you comprehend it. You'll find understanding how AutoHotkey gets things done critical to writing and debugging robust scripts.

Rather than a plethora of programming tips, I offer a framework for viewing AutoHotkey scripts and the script writing process. If you understand everything in this book, then you'll find writing and debugging AutoHotkey scripts much easier. I include "Best Practices" which make your AutoHotkey life much easier—especially if you plan to later integrate them with other scripts while maintaining their standalone capability. While I include numerous snippets of code in the book, they offer either basic level examples or insight into how AutoHotkey works.

I emphasize the modularity of AutoHotkey throughout the book. That means for the most part you can place encapsulate modules almost anywhere in a script—with a few exceptions. This modularity makes AutoHotkey a very forgiving language, but the exceptions to the rule can be killer.
