AppleScript Applications is a great book with a huge amount of info on creating applications using FaceSpan. AppleScript is the best developed and most extensive of all operating system scripting languages. Creating applications with AppleScript does take some savvy though, and that's where this book comes in.

Needs to be sent through one more round of editing
4 Jan 1999
Format:Paperback
Overall the premise of the book to use examples to teach is good, and the examples themselves were well chosen. However, the devil is in the details. There were numerous unexplained forward references, some incorrect information (its explanation of whether Applescript is reentrant comes to mind) and the example scripts included on the CD were buggy. It took all of one click (chaning the year) to crash the Date Minder script which they claim met their high standards. All in all because of these problems I wouldn't recommend this book, although there really isn't much in the way of competition.

Requires some programming experience
18 Nov 1998
Format:Paperback
I found the book to be very useful for most of the book. Howvever, I found that the book did not emphasize enough on what were actual commands and what was data. Somtimes the syntax was a little misleading because of the way the examples were written. You will have to read the examples a couple of times to figure out what is applescript commands and what isn't. I was looking for a book that showed how each command was used and then how to put them all together. Most C and BASIC books are written like this.
