AppleScript is a high level scripting language that resides on the Mac platform. It can be used to add functionality to the Mac operating system, automating tasks, adding functions, making things easier. AppleScript has always been very useful, and with Mac OS X, it can be taken even further than before.
This book goes the extra mile when teaching AppleScript, explaining advanced topics, while not leaving behind the beginner. It starts off with the basics, such, as handing variable, loops, and commands, then goes on to teach higher level concepts such as debugging, AppleScripting with databases, manipulating PDFs with SMILE, and automating media workflow.
If you are a Mac user who wants to know the real meaning of having full control over your machine, get into AppleScripting; this book is the only guide you need to master the art!
Organized by function, not language
A strong index and appendices help readers to quickly locate information
Based on actual use and real-world functionality, as well as the "art" of automation
A high-level scripting language residing on the Mac platform, AppleScript adds functionality to the Mac operating system. AppleScript functions like a powerful macro language that automates tasks and adds functions. This book supports all versions of AppleScript—through the latest, version 1.9.3. Rosenthal is already popular within the Mac community, and in this book he reaches out to Mac scripters. This book thoroughly explains advanced topics, without leaving the beginning Mac scripter behind. The book addresses scripting, current to Panther. And it continues where other books stop, offering additional points of view and perspective, as needed.
