Sam,
RhinoScript is basically a scripting plugin for Rhino. It is based of VBScript language and all VBScript methods works in RhinoScript + it has a few hundred Rhino specific methods (they are the functions that start like “Rhino.” and u can find them in RhinoScript helpfile). So the coding syntax as based on VBScript.
Grasshopper is another plugin for Rhino, which is basically mimicking RhinoScript but with no coding involved (if you dot feel like, otherwise it has VB and C# components that make your life easier and deffinitions smaller). I guess it’s the way David Rutten’s (creator ) impression of RhinoScript . It holds the same logic as RhinoScript though. I also find it easier to understand GH once you have at least general understanding of RhinoScript and you can truly enjoy its functionality.

Thank, Rodrigo. a very interesting website.I am the beginner of learning Processing. The syntax of Rhinoscript is quite different from that of Processing. I would also like to learn Rhinoscript, is it easier for me to learn Rhinoscript after learning VB?
Also, I am learning Grasshopper now,do I need to learn Rhionscript additionaly. I am quite confused about the function between Grasshopper and Rhinoscript becasue someone said you don’t need to learn Rhinoscript when you learn Grasshopper.

Thank for your comment Sam actually i think its more easy to understand rhinoscript once you know the basic structures for coding in Processing actually processing is great for creating 3d models but will depend a lot of the purpose of the modelling I wouldn´t recomend it for architectural modelling however it can be used to perfom analisis and export that data more conventional 3d modelling tools, but however I think is great for example what NERVOUS is doing for example take a look http://n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com/play_and_learn.php

Thank for your sharing. I totally agree with you, Processing is a good starting point in learning programming because it is very easy to learn. But, I wonder if Processing is related to creating 3D model.And is it easy to learn RhinoScript after learning Processing?
