Product Description
This is the second edition of Hanaan Rosenthals critically-acclaimed AppleScript book. It goes the extra mile to teach you AppleScriptexplaining advanced topics without leaving you behind.
AppleScript is the high-level scripting language that resides on the Mac platform. It can be used to add functionality to the Mac operating system, automate tasks, add functions, and generally make things easier. AppleScript has always been very useful, and with Mac OS X, you can take AppleScript further than before.
This book begins with the basics like handling variables, loops, and commands. Then it proceeds with more advanced concepts like debugging, AppleScripting with databases, manipulating PDFs with SMILE, and automating media workflow. In a nutshell, this book:
- Takes you on a journey from novice to professional AppleScripter.
- Is completely comprehensive; nothing is left to the imagination.
- Is up-to-date through AppleScript 1.10/Mac OS X Tiger.
If you are a Mac user who wants to know the real meaning of having full control over your machine, get into AppleScripting. And pick up this book because it really is the only guide you need to master the art of AppleScripting!

If you want to get productive with applescript in a commercial environment , without doing Applescript Studio (which I don't, because Applications from AS Studio are simply TOO SLOW for my commercial solutions) then do buy this book. What's 'rare' is this book is is very well written, comprehensive, contains no fluff and is aimed at YOUR productivity.. whether you have programming experience or not .... It even finds space to show how to write your own custom dialog boxes and link them to your scripts..Why?..Because the user interface is the only major failing still to be addressed within Applescript. Complex dialog boxes are just not 'do'able from compiled scripts..
This is the most useful book I have found on automating the Mac and Mac OS applications - period, no matter what project you have in mind. The only other thing you need is Script Debugger (a must), and to spend a modest amount of time looking at the dictionary of your 'target' application to be able to send commands to it and 'get' and 'set' values.
This is a real word book for real world people.

This must be the best value for money for any (or all) Mac Users. From novice to expert it has so much informative and interesting content and sets the standard for how to teach and be taught.
Format:Paperback
An excellent book. Well thought out and well presented. Do not be put off by a techie, professional cover. This book is far more straight forward than most others on what is a simple programming language. This book keeps it simple and so you will pick up Apple Script faster with this book than any other I know. Strongly recommended.
