Learning scripting

@sawer Ok everyone.
Everything is in the Hise docs.
Will start by digging there. -
@sawer said in Learning scripting:
If it takes 2 years to be proficient, I'll go for it.
I've been at it for 20 :)
I think the best way to learn is to work on a project that you care about. Start with a simple project though - although you won't know what simple really is until you know what you're doing ;) I think all beginners and non-programmers underestimate the complexity of their projects so really try to make it very very simple.
Write a list of 10 features you want your project to have and work on those. Try to avoid adding any new features until you've implemented those 10 and they are fully working the way you want.
Once you've finished your project make a new project that's very similar but this time try and write it using fewer lines of code.

@d-healey Thanks so much David. Really great explanation!

@sawer If you try to stick to these guidelines you code will be more readable and you'll be following a lot of "best practices" - https://docs.hise.audio/scripting/scripting-in-hise/hise-script-coding-standards.html

@d-healey Really helpful, Thanks David.
Might get back to the calculator and apply everything stated here, because I really care about it, just that I got a lil discouraged. As you said, I overestimate the Complexity of it.
