Possible to ??...

Is it possible that autoit is used to create the based software or programs to company's ? or what is the important language that is used to create these programs?

[InunoTaishou]

I've seen people work on projects that are used within the company they work. Most big companies that I've seen (on craigslist ads) want something written in C#, and I've seen C++, VB, java, and I worked at a company that wrote a point of sale software in python.

So no point of becoming professional in autoit ?

[LerN]

and what about autoit? why not autoit?

Yea the problem is my English right? xD

[kylomas]

LerN,

No, not at all.  The question made me think that you are searching for a path of most value, that's all.

I didn't get what u mean :/

[InunoTaishou]

I think what Kylomas is getting at is in a school environment they're not going to teach autoit. They're going to go with a more popular and business used language. Like Java, Python, C++, C#. I started going to school for computer science and they taught C++ at my school. Another friend was taught python at his school.

I'd say pick up one of the more business like languages but AutoIt is still a great language to have knowledge in. If I ever want to do something small I'm not gonna open up my Visual studio IDE and write 3 headers and a main function to do something when I could write it out in a few minutes in AutoIt.

[LerN]

What i mean is since we can do anything in autoit so what's the difference between autoit and for ex: java ?
bec, even autoit isnot a popular language

Every project I have been paid to do was in AutoIt.  My first paid project used C++ and AutoIt, but could have all been done in AutoIt if I had known the language better at the time.  I've worked for 2 businesses providing scripts.  Mitchel's Window Cleaning and a NDA.  I've only had 4 clients (I think) and I've earned about 2k using AutoIt.  Keep in mind I didn't visit my records for this info, it's off the top of my head.

And could u build nice forms in koda ?

[Xandy]

I've never used Koda.  I GUI by hand.

edit: I tried it but didn't like it.  Or actually just didn't want to learn b/c I thought it would be slower to create lists with.

I suppose you could build a nice GUI with Koda, Idk.

[LerN]

How u do the gui by your hand ? explain more bec, i never did a nice form in koda bec i hate it actually

[Xandy]

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$hGui = GuiCreate("Window Title", 320, 200)
GuiSetState(); Shows the window we just created

Do
    $msg = GuiGetMsg(); this provides a sleep so we don't cook the cpu
Until $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

but I'm going to need an Include for that $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

edit: all fixed

Now I don't know you'd also have to create some controls and maybe labels.  I'd use arrays to organize and speed things up.

Have a look at the GUICtrlCreate..  functions

Like: GuiCtrlCreateButton, GuiCtrlCreateInput, GuiCtrlCreateLabel

So, you can do a lot of things with AutoIt, and I've ever seen (and used) several programs developed in AutoIt or that have parts coded with AutoIt.

Basically, when creating a program, you must think it completely and guess the right programming language to do it.

Example: if you are creating a website, although AutoIt has AU3-CGI for websites developments, there are more solid works around, such as PHP, NodeJS with Express and so on.

If you are creating a DLL, special controls and the else, AutoIt won't help you. Better use C/C++.

If you want your application to run on several operating systems, better go with Java.

If you want to make an Android application, Java. iOS, Objective-C. 

If you're going to write some webservice, then NodeJS or PHP with some framework (SlimFramework for instance), and some .NET solutions that I'm not aware of.

What I love in AutoIt is that every task is done quickly. And its syntax is Basic-like, which IMHO is easier to understand as it focus in keywords instead of symbols (i.e.: "EndIf" instead of "}"). But of course it's not suitable to any situation (no language is).

[LerN]

I already used c++ and java and visual basic and i see that no difference between autoit and the most of them but I see that building a GUI in autoit is shit right? 

[Xandy]

I like coding GUIs in AutoIt but others might not.
