How much programming do you know? What languages do you know? Do you know Basic/VB or python or javascript or what?

At first blush, focus on using only SDK1 - and none of the SDK2 (the so-called "Roku Scene Graph"). It's hard to tell them apart because the documentation is a mishmash assuming you know already which is which - but if the component name starts with "ro" - use that. If it starts with "roSG" or no "ro" prefix at all - that is RSG and trust me, you don't want that.

You're going to need to download information and display it on screen, so there's two skills you need - using roURLtransfer to get the data from the internet and roScreen or roImageCanvas to display it. If for any reason your answer to EnTerr's question is "none", it doesn't matter so much which thing you do next, because there is a lot to know before you can start your actual project. Look at the example channels in the SDK. Find one that looks interesting, and start poking around - change a color, or a URL and see what happens. Make sure you are using the debugger, it's a waste of time without it.



Hi ST,
   Thanks for your reply...

Actual project motto is to read third party Weather JSON Data and separate the data with country and state wise. and display it on roku screen with little graphics. As u said earlier roURLtransfer roScreen, roCanvas is good startup for above things. But what is the basic level course to learn for beginner's. then only its easy to understand the core of the brighscript. Please suggest it in order..

Like in JS... we need to learn BOM(browser object model) and DOM(Document object model) , later manipulations on DOM. this is the basic for JS.

Ok, so you are not in bad shape to tackle this. Read this section first https://sdkdocs.roku.com/display/sdkdoc/BrightScript+Language+Reference[/url:eqv4cgrz] in the following order:

1. Statement Summary


2. Expressions, Variables, and Types


3. Program Statements


4. Component Architecture

The rest of the section, just have a glance of it to know such-and-such functions exist. Sounds like roImageCanvas is the one to use for the UI.

Hey Thanks, let me check those things...
