Mac users everywhere--even those who know nothing about
programming--are discovering the value of the latest version of
AppleScript, Apple's vastly improved scripting language for Mac OS
X Tiger. And with this new edition of the top-selling "AppleScript:
The Definitive Guide," anyone, regardless of your level of
experience, can learn to use AppleScript to make your Mac time more
efficient and more enjoyable by automating repetitive tasks,
customizing applications, and even controlling complex workflows.
Fully revised and updated--and with more and better examples
than ever--"AppleScript: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition"
explores AppleScript 1.10 from the ground up. You will learn how
AppleScript works and how to use it in a variety of contexts: in
everyday scripts to process automation, in CGI scripts for
developing applications in Cocoa, or in combination with other
scripting languages like Perl and Ruby.
AppleScript has shipped with every Mac since System 7 in 1991,
and its ease of use and English-friendly dialect are highly
appealing to most Mac fans. Novices, developers, and everyone in
between who wants to know how, where, and why to use AppleScript
will find "AppleScript: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition" to be
the most complete source on the subject available. It's as perfect
for beginners who want to write their first script as it is for
experienced users who need a definitive reference close at
hand.
"AppleScript: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition" begins with a
relevant and useful AppleScript overview and then gets quickly to
the language itself; when you have a good handle on that, you get
to see AppleScript in action, and learn how to put it intoaction
for you. An entirely new chapter shows developers how to make your
Mac applications scriptable, and how to give them that Mac OS X
look and feel with AppleScript Studio. Thorough appendixes deliver
additional tools and resources you won't find anywhere else.
