Learn Autohotkey

Hi,
Is there a book or a step by step tutorial to learn Autohotkey?
I miss a book as in most programming languages.

Thanks in advance!

there's the quick-start tutorial

I also work on off on my own little project Ahk learner

I'm also writing a little on what I call "The little book of ahk" ;)

I'll take a look but I think the information is a little "caotic". Sorry, It's only my opinion!
I don't want to bother anyone!

In a book, it seems the information is fuller!

Blackholyman, this book has a very good looking!

Note: Sorry, for my bad english!

You can download the ebook "AutoHotkey Tricks You Ought to Do with Windows" free. You can find a couple of paid beginning AutoHotkey books on Amazon—one by Nick May and the other by yours truly. I also offer numerous blogs on beginning AutoHotkey at Jack's AutoHotkey Blog. Plus, you can get the free book Why AutoHotkey? at Amazon.

My best advice is to look all the videos of "Hellbent" aka CivReborn on Youtube. It is perfect to start from 0 knowledge.

Oh interesting PDF, I remember. I think this is from the StackOverflow wiki...
Otherwise I am unsure why I would be credited... :b

I am also new and interested in what you found useful. I don't see the name 'Deley' in the above recommendations. Would you mind linking to the author whose material you found most helpful?

Thanks

No matter how well I learn and learn and read programming books, I still struggle with the Autohotkey
What programming books are you reading? If you are just reading more generalized info, maybe you need to get more specific with books that are directly about AuthHotkey. Maybe you should check out Jack's AutoHotkey book collection.

I agree with @SOTE and @DRocks. Hellbent/CivReborn videos are very helpful. There's stuff everywhere, really - StackOverflow, SuperUser, many YouTube sites, I like this site quite a bit.

Hi guys. I just learned this and I feel anybody need to know about launching a file from the desktops or your screens, your guys must put quotation marks for each end along with point ask.
I hope this helps.
