Testimonials

Still not sure this course is for you? Here are a few testimonials from people that have worked through the course:

Great course for becoming more efficient. Mr. Glines was most helpful in answering my questions. I recommend this to fellow educators. –Paul B
I’m using AutoHotkey for nearly 17yrs. Joe has created an amazing course and btw is a key contributor at the AutoHotkey-forum. Well done! –Bill S.
I love how easy the explanation is and how good the course is made to follow along. –Tom A.
This course is a good match for me. It’s confirming some of the things I’ve learned here and there, and I’m learning new things as well. I would just like to see some things explained at a very basic, non-programmer level, such as, for example, when talking about variables, “what are they, what do they do, when are they used, etc.”. –Nora D.
I liked how this course was taught from a “I’m not a programmer” point of view. I liked the live troubleshooting in particular. They kept me engaged to see if I could spot the issue before a solution was found, or to see if alternate solutions could have applied. — Aladdin G.
Lots of great examples and rich knowledge of this topic. I had a very slim knowledge of this subject before taking this course but I have learned a ton and will likely have to digest the info before I can absorb all this course has to offer. I already have quite a few tweaks to my everyday work life I can use to save time. –David W.
Curso bastante rÃ¡pido que da las herramientas necesarias para entender AutoHotKey. No saldrÃ¡s automatizando todo, sino con la capacidad de entender el resto de temas y funciones. –Angel C.
Even though I already knew most of the material, repeating does not hurt and I am still learning some valuable info. Joe is a great instructor especially taking into account that AutoHotkey tutorials are very scarce online or elsewhere. I also like the real-time troubleshooting/debugging – it does not irritate me at all. All in all, a very nice intro course and I already look forward to the intermediate/advanced course. –Peter T.
I am learning a lot. I like that you left in the mistakes you are making because is shows us more troubleshooting steps/options that I can go through to solve my own issues that i know I will run into. Thank you for being so genuine and organized. –Mike G.
Absolutely. I was looking for a high quality course on AHK since months and I finally found it. –Raza V.
