Skill 101? Reply

I'm brand new to SKILL and I'm having trouble finding a starting point to learn it. I'm no stranger to programming in general, but apparently you need to be a detective to find a good tutorial on SKILL. Are there any? Any ideas where I should start? Sourcelink does not seem to produce a decent tutorial.

Best resources I've run across are located here:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/skill_school/?v=1&t=search&ch=web&pub=groups&sec=group&slk=3

It's a Yahoo goup "skill_school" and does have a set of progressively more involved tutorials.

Hth,
Dave

If you are new to SKILL, I suggest that you run SKILL in interactive mode without the framework database first. Of course, attend Cadence SKILL training class. But for best learning, you should play around with SKILL first before registering the class. If you know LISP or Scheme, you are in good shape. Below is an except from my book of how to run interactively at Unix window (i.e. you do not need to login icfb )

More info on the book "CAD Scriping Languaged: Ruby, Python, Perl, Tcl & SKILL "
