Description
AutoHotkey is an amazing, FREE, open-source tool that can save you an amazing amount of time. We designed this course to help people new to AutoHotkey get started with this amazingly powerful language.
Compared to most languages, AutoHotkey is very user friendly to non-programmers. Having said that, there are some nuances that will trip-up both seasoned developers and people that are new to programming. We tried to include all the things we wish someone had pointed out to us in this course! Unlike other courses, this AutoHotkey course is free and will remain that way!
The course is designed to answer a ton of questions that you will have when you’re first starting with AutoHotkey!
The course is broken into four main sections:
-
Before coding– things you’d want to know before you’ve begun coding
-
While you’re coding– These are tips and tricks of things you’d want to know while you’re coding
-
Troubleshooting– Uh-oh. Here we give you a few ideas on what to do when things are going wrong
The course is also created in a way that you can jump around in any order. So, if you see a specific lecture you’re interested in, you can jump straight to it and be able to follow along
We do have a couple of free AutoHotkey tools we’ve designed to help people.

AHKAddToStartup – Makes it easy to add your AutoHotkey script (or any program) to the Windows startup process
