Although I don't know enough about it to claim that it's superior than most other scripting languages out there, I know for a fact that this is one of the best. That also begs the question of how a person w/ virtually no programming background can get started w/ AFL. I followed this forum long enough to note that some of you in here are excellent coders. The codes that I often see are flawless and eloquent, which then makes me think how long does it take a coding newbie such as myself to attain that coding level.

I started out by learning a few basic vocabulary words, then use some of it in the form of a noun, then a verb, finally an object. Sentence structures, or in computer language better known as syntax, govern if a sentence is grammatically correct or if it's not. With that in mind, I also started out by looking at the AFL Library in Amibroker. I downloaded all of the functions in the hope of building myself an Amibroker vocabulary and started to put some of the basic vocabulary words together to make a "sentence."

Some of the experienced coders here often compare AFL syntax to that of C++. But for a person w/ neither background in AFL or C++ or any other computer langugae, the question remains: How do I get start? Where's the square one?
