Chip of course has written valuable scripts and has also done his best to encourage others to learn scripting as well therefore, enriching screenreader use in many ways. Others have contributed as well and they also deserve thanks. However, in this post I wanted to expressly thank Chip for all his hard work and effort. Anyone who does his job an life and still has time to enrich others in this way deserves great praise for it.

Unfortunately, other than the audio series I did, there's very little written aimed at helping you learn scripting. Each of the audio classes I did came with a written file of examples, with enough comments that they may be helpful to you in learning to script even without the audio portion. Also, Jamal put out an early script called "learning to script" (I think), and he provided some written materials to help you learn to script. There are also some articles on the GW wiki site at http://gwmicro.com/wiki (I wrote two of them with the purpose of teaching scripting through written articles). It was the effort it took to write those two articles which convinced me that weekly audio sessions would be easier. Of course, now there's the app named WE Script Framework Wizard from GW, and it's a very useful tool if you have read some of the material I've mentioned, so you've brought yourself up to a place where you understand some scripting, then this app can be used to teach you a lot more about things which are intermediate/advanced level scripting concepts. After you feel you understand everything this app has to teach you, you can then begin to look at apps written by others; some of them are very useful in learning to script as they contain a sufficient amount of comments to help you understand what's happening. Or, some of them tackle very easy problems, so you're not confused by a huge script which solves a difficult problem. Hope you'll try all these, and of course get on the scripting mailing list and ask questions; plenty of people there who are willing to help you. hth, Chip _____ From: Kimsan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 12:09 PM To: 'Chip Orange'; [email protected] Subject: RE: W.E scripting was Bless your heart! Thanks so, so much As far as scripting goes. I would like to learn how to script in WE. Any materials I can read/study or must I listen to audio tutorials. I see all of these scripts on the central and I am like maybe I should take a stab at this. Thanks. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
