Welcome

Welcome to the 2006 RoboThon, the small scripting conference. On these pages we'll collect the notes, code snippets, scripts and other things that we talk about during the presentations.

It might seem we're rushing passed a lot of subjects. We probably are. We're confident we've put together a comprehensive program - it should be useful to beginners as well as seasoned scripters. There's always a risk of either going to slow or too fast. So, don't hesitate to ask. And don't worry if at some point it's too much: scripting can already make a huge difference in your own work even if you don't understand the more complicated things.

In these pages we post all the examples and some explanations. So you don't have to frantically copy all the samples from the screen. Hopefully these notes will also be useful after the conference, as you can read the stuff again and try out any examples you might have missed.

So let's have a look at where we're going to work in the next chapter on Editors
