Dynamo DesignScript Learning Resources

Since the question keeps appearing on the forum I thought I would create a dedicated topic so its easily searchable.

DesignScript is Dynamo’s native scripting language and is similar to C# and Python. I would recommend any Dynamo user to learn the basics as it can significantly enhance proficiency.

Here are some great resources for those interested in learning:

Could be good to pick @solamour’s brain as well. He did a great write up at revit forum.

Hi This is the topic i was searching for. There are some good sources of learning it like the “Dynamo Language Manual”, “DesignScript User Manual” by Robert Aish. Although I have learnt quite some from these, I was looking for a reference that was mentioned in the second document here - “DesignScript class Library documentation”. Is that the same as “DesignScript Language Specification 2.1” ? https://dynamobim.org/wp-content/links/DesignScriptGuide.pdf

Also where can I get a real comprehensive guide for a non-programmer person. One that explains it from scratch to finish.
