#### How to start programming with thinBasic Scripting is a whole set of languages, and can be done for many different things. Scripting can also be one of the easiest types of programming. It is also a quick way to get productive doing some basic programming. I believe that people get the most out of something when they are able to see the results of their work immediately. Many of the concepts learned doing scripting can later be applied to other computer languages, so it is not like scripting is wasted effort (knowledge). This is a great way to start, and introduce yourself to programming and many of its concepts. ##### Examples After having installed thinBasic you will find a directory called \thinBasic\SampleScripts\ That directory is than organized by subdirectories one for each argument covered by thinBasic. A good way to start learning thinBasic is to check into \SampleScripts\ directory and execute some of the many (more than 400) examples provided. But how to execute a script: just double click on a thinBasic script and it will executed on the fly. No compilation, no intermediate code: just execution. ##### Modify / Create Ok, now you have executed some thinBasic scripts and you would like to modify some of them or write new. No problem, we have developed a nice IDE editor called thinAir. thinAir is the perfect companion for developing thinBasic applications. Just right click on a thinBasic script and from the context menu choose "Edit": thinAir will open the script and you can start to implement your own version.
