Which Programming language to enhance Storyline?

Hi there,

I want to learn a programming language to enrich Storyline-Modules with more interactivity and complex scenarios.

Please take 5 seconds for your input and tell me HERE (or in the thread) which programming language you would learn first to enhance xAPI-files made from Articulate Storyline?

Thanks, a lot, I am very curious...

  • Javascript not Java, the only language you can use inside of Storyline is Javascript

    Sounds like a very crystal clear Situation. So I am going to extend my Javascript skills. 

    Some sort of a Code repository / Code snippets of users (thread) would be awesome. Where you find Code of typical usecases. Does anything like that exist?

        They just removed Jquery, which the code in that page relies upon, so probably wouldn't use that.

    If someone was new to programming full stop, where would you send them to learn the basics of Javascript quickly? Is starting there even possible or are there bear bones to get elsewhere first? I'd want to go via theodinprojectc.om or freecodecamp.org but any other sites to get the broad understanding firsts would be wonderful!

  • Javascript is the only way in Storyline. Both SL3 as SL360. Biggest issue forever is debugging and targeting elements in Storyline..as Articulate changes things without notice to Javascript users. So you always need to recheck your scripts after updates. Or not update ;-) Well as SL3 user that is no issue offcourse ;-)
