Learn AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X (Learn (Apress)) Review: Learn AppleScript - Without any doubt, this is the most up-to-date and complete guide to AppleScript. Covering AppleScript 2 and the Mac OSX, the text is complete without being too lenthy and boring. The explanations are complete, and yet succinct, a rarety in programming texts, and well suited to both the beginner and the experienced user of earlier versions of AppleScript. Loaded with many easy to follow, yet highly informative examples of useable scripts, as well as the most complete covering of controlling AppleScript unfriendly applications via GUI scripting I have seen to date. The primary focus is in AppleScripting OS X v6, with relevant info about v5. All that, with the incredibly low prices available, this is a terrific value to anyone interested in programming the Mac OSX. Review: Great for beginners and for advanced programmers - I bought this over a year ago, and it was a great place to quickly get used to the Applescript syntax, which can be really confusing. I have prior programming experience and this book made sense in every page. I also think that someone who has never fiddled around with programming would have a good start with the book itself. I would also recommend "AppleScriptObjC Explored" if you are going to be creating Applescript projects with Xcode. It is not available thru desertcart but you buy directly from the author, who does an outstanding job helping you out when you are stumped. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,719,882 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #245 in Mac Hardware #323 in Macintosh Operating System #3,169 in Software Development (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (30) | | Dimensions | 7.75 x 2.25 x 9.5 inches | | Edition | 3rd ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1430223618 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1430223610 | | Item Weight | 3.35 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Learn (Apress) | | Print length | 1104 pages | | Publication date | May 5, 2010 | | Publisher | Apress | ## Images ![Learn AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X (Learn (Apress)) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61DgruR7o-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Learn AppleScript *by R***H on October 19, 2011* Without any doubt, this is the most up-to-date and complete guide to AppleScript.
