Don't be fooled by the title if you have never programmed in your life.

I'm just adding these links for reference, in case anyone is as interested as me, in learning to script-fu.

I will be adding more links to this list (and hopefully good tutorials), as I find them:

Teach Yourself Scheme:

Saulgoode's reference link:
http://people.csail.mit.edu/jaffer/r5rs_toc.html

i remember a series of script tutorial by fencepost on www.gimpdome.com

I guess you could say there are 5000 similar tutorials to every 1 unique one. I am still searching.

I have to find it on one of my backup drives, but I have a HUGE scheme manual. That is another thing on my to do list.

i didn't understand the sense of your reply
Here is the exact link for the first of the serie
http://www.gimpdome.com/gimp-general-us ... pting-101/

at the end of the tut you will found the links for the follow up

All the series is updated to gimp 2.6
(most of the other i found are totally outdated )

I was just commenting on my own search results, PC. Too many old and simple tutorials. I need more intermediate stuff. Thanks for the link, btw.

the first i linked is very simple but still may contain not obvious tips
the others are more and more complex

Hey Mahvin. Ran across Koders a little over a year ago. Here's a link to some Script-fus at Koders. If you click on one, you then get the code for that one and also on the left side you get links to all the Script-fus which is cool.

Don't forget to read the Preface.

I would like to try my hand at script-fu too.
AFAIK Gimp .scm scripts use Tiny-Scheme and not Scheme.
Would there be differences in syntax and available commands?
Probably best to follow fencepost tutorial in gimpdome.

Edit: I have installed "plt-scheme" formerly DrScheme.
It uses R5RS version of Scheme,how compatible is that with the version Gimp uses?
I want to use it to check things I may write for errors.

They are very similar according to what I am reading and seeing.

Thanks mahvin.
The version I installed with Gentoo appears to be fairly old (version 4.2.2).
I searching the web to see if I could find a newer version brought me to this site:
http://racket-lang.org/download/
It was renamed from plt-scheme.org to racket.
I downloaded the unix version (5.1) and it compiles fine and works ok.
I haven't had time yet to fully explore it but in the docs I see quite a bit about graphics.
It is also available for Mac and Windows32bit.
Even if you write something in the Gimp script-fu console you could use this to find errors I guess.
