Best programming way

[dani-perez]

Hello all,

I would like to improve my level at coding. I know there are several ways and languages, such as action recorder, scripts, autolisp, visuallisp, .net...

Which of these is the best way to program? I mean the quickest (and the easiest if possible) and the most complete for all the possibilities.

Thanks all.

THIS thread is the most recent which I remember.

Anyway, the action recorder is not really an option, probably just for basic recording. Not sure how many people use this, but can't see this much around here. Also, a SCRIPT is basically just a list of AutoCAD commands filled to command-line. You will learn that anyway.

Nonetheless, I would personally start with AutoLISP to understand basic principles, of course here helps a lot the COMMAND function which essentially mimics AutoCAD's command-line. Then you can move to VisualLisp, if you feel like you want to.

Definitely start HERE, explore the HELP system and also you might try to pick up some basic topics here... or follow other...

Good luck!
