Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good online sources for learning design script or python? Specifically for visual scripting programs like Dynamo?

I know of really great websites like [codeacademy.com](http://codeacademy.com) but these are geared towards web creation. Perhaps these are still really useful for learning the structure of Python for example but I’m assuming there is a different vocabulary needed to use Python in an environment like Dynamo.

Thoughts welcome,

Matt

Hello [Matthew Mcfetridge](http://dynamobim.com/forums/users/matthew-mcfetridgegmail-com/ "View Matthew Mcfetridge's profile"),

Have you looked at our tutorial for Design Script language here… [http://dynamobim.org/wp-content/uploads/forum-assets/colin-mccroneautodesk-com/07/10/Dynamo\_language\_guide\_version\_1.pdf](http://dynamobim.org/wp-content/uploads/forum-assets/colin-mccroneautodesk-com/07/10/Dynamo_language_guide_version_1.pdf)

Thanks,

Hi Retesh,

Thanks for the link, I hadn’t come across that document before. I see there is a new section to the Dynamo Primer now which looks at Code Blocks so I’ll have a look at that also.

Do you know of any good sources like these using Python in a design environment?

Cheers!
