Overview

BimlScript.com is an online community for developing and sharing Biml solutions to business intelligence problems, and contributing your own Biml knowledge to help others. The site’s content consists of Biml snippets, videos, and walkthroughs that can teach Biml to others, as well as provide opportunities to learn more advanced techniques.

Video tutorials

Video tutorials are especially useful when it’s easier to visually demonstrate a solution rather than describe it in text. All videos posted to BimlScript.com are stored on YouTube, increasing their exposure across the Internet.

Walkthroughs

Walkthroughs are step by step instructions that demonstrate solving a BI problem using Biml, or creating BI assets using the Biml language.

Snippets

Snippets are for displaying small Biml code samples. Although they contain a summary text box, useful for descriptions and explanations, they’re intended to serve as examples, rather than walkthroughs.

Sandbox

BimlScript.com hosts an online Biml editor, which includes syntax highlighting and Intelliprompt. Once your Biml is authored, it can be exported to HTML (for display elsewhere on the web) by copying the content directly from the Export HTML tab.

Events

Snippets are for displaying small Biml code samples. Although they contain a summary text box, useful for descriptions and explanations, they’re intended to serve as examples, rather than walkthroughs.

External Content

External content is any additional resource (i.e. websites, blogs, forums) that contribute value to the use or application of Biml but does not fall into the category of a Video Tutorial, Snippet, or Walkthrough.
