CodeNorm is new to Daily Cup of Tech and wants to know about the scripting language that I develop in. Norm writes:

I’m very interested in your creative and innovative use of scripts. Could you tell me what language you’re scripting in? I’m not familiar enough to identify what language it’s in.

Thank you!

Thanks for the e-mail, Norm. I have been enamored with AutoIt for many years now and I write pretty much everything exclusively in this scripting language. I used to be a big VBScript guy but switched over a while ago now.

There are several reasons that I use AutoIt as opposed to other languages:

  1. It is freeware.
  2. I am not a developer by trade and AutoIt allows me to create very useful scripts without much difficulty.
  3. Unlike many other scripting languages, AutoIt can create self-contained executables that do not rely on other outside libraries or sources.
  4. I can easily automate repetitive tasks including key presses and mouse movements.

Here are a few useful AutoIt links:

I hope that you have as much fun with AutoIt as I have.

If you found this post useful, why don't you buy me a cup of coffee to show your gratitude?
