Nodes
In Dynamo, Nodes are the objects you connect to form a Visual Program. Each Node performs an operation - sometimes that may be as simple as storing a number or it may be a more complex action such as creating or querying geometry.
Dynamo Library
The Dynamo Library contains the Nodes we add to the Workspace to define Visual Programs for execution. In the Library, we can search for or browse to Nodes. The Nodes contained here - the basic Nodes installed, Custom Nodes we define, and Nodes from the Package Manager that we add to Dynamo - are organized hierachically by category. Let's review this organization and explore the key Nodes we will use frequently
Managing Your Program
Working within a Visual Programming process can be a powerful creative activity, but very quickly the Program Flow and key user inputs can be obscured by complexity and/or layout of the Workspace. Let's review some best practices for managing your program.
What's a Code Block?
Code blocks are a window deep into DesignScript, the programming language at the heart of Dynamo. Built from scratch to support exploratory design workflows, DesignScript is a readable and concise language that offers both immediate feedback to small bits of code and also scales to large and complex interactions. DesignScript also forms the backbone of the engine that drives most aspects of Dynamo “under the hood”. Because nearly all of the functionality found in Dynamo nodes and interactions have a one-to-one relationship with the scripting language, there are unique opportunities to move between node-based interactions and scripting in a fluid way.
Python
Python is a widely used programming language whose popularity has a lot to do with its style of syntax. It's highly readable, which makes it easier to learn than many other languages. Python supports modules and packages, and can be embedded into existing applications.
