Hi, appreciate this.

Perhaps you would care to add the rooibos unit testing framework somewhere in here. It's a mocha inspired framework, with fully rich docs, and a couple of hours of video tutorials. I think most brightscript developers would really benefit from using it.

Hello. I see the codingalien site is not available anymore.
Do you think it is possible to run a single .brs file in the command line?
I mean, to learn more about the syntax.
Thanks for writing this article.

I am new to Roku app development. I know nothing about the BrightScript language. I spent many days looking for BrightScript-related resources before I start development. So I couldn't find much. Apparently, BrightScript hasn't a rich community. Some articles that I found wrote 5-6 years ago. Some of the things are deprecated. I start to learn by looking at code samples but it soo cumbersome. By the way, thank you @uros for this post. it will help me lot.

Thank you @Uros. I'm the father of codingalien. But the domain expired. I created this blog 4 years ago. I have a plan to start again.
