Hello Dynamo Friends, I´m at the beginning of creating exercises for my coworkers so they can begin to work with dynamo. Has someone suggestions for fun exercises? Especially for list logic I´m not sure what to do… What are essential topics i should not miss? Here is my first exercise: Create …

if they are not used to code and/or script it would probebly be a good idea to explain how computer handles strings,floats/double and integers diffrent seams obvious to us who work with it. but for someone new its very strange. also might be good to have some sort of lesson how you can manipulate d…
