AppleScript The Definitive Guide 2nd Edition
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 into action 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. Reviewed
and approved by Apple, this indispensable guide carries the
ADC (Apple Developer Connection) logo.
