Hello all!

As suggested in the Topic Title I have no programming experience at all. I have been using only batch scripts previously and before taking the Powershell route, I thought I'd give thinBasic a try.

I don't study all then apply, I'm more of a dabbler, if I need to do something I learn as I go. So prepare for a lot of basic questions, although I have no idea how much or little I'll need thinBasic as opposed to my usual batch scripts.

Welcome welcome,

you can do lot of things with ThinBasic, requiring different level of knowledge.
You can start with simple scripts using "console" and "file" module to get the language basics and then try to learn other modules as well.

It all depends on what you want to do.

thinBasic can do a lot, so it is confusing as to where you can start.

Since you came from the batch file world.

I would play with the console applications at the moment. Then you can move onto windows graphical applications and even 2d and 3d stuff if interested even later.

Look in the Sample Scripts folder to see many different application using the module that the folder name usually seems to match.

Ask questions as the forums are full of all nice guys and love to help and welcome aboard!
