Customer Review: This is an exhaustive reference manual for AppleScript, a scripting language included with all Macintoshes. It is not a tutorial, but if you have some programming experience of any kind you will be able to use this manual to construct AppleScripts. The book was published in January 2006 and is... more info
Customer Review: The conversion to Kindle really stinks. The code portions are in really tiny type, the other portions are all out of whack. Somebody poured the print version into Kindle without even thinking. Very disappointed.
Customer Review: I found this book to be well written and easy to use. Like most books these days, it has a few typos in it. I guess that just a sign of the time. Still, there are not many of them. All of the examples were clearly explained and easy to follow. I am about 80 percent of the way through and I have yet... more info
Customer Review: I have not programming background, but I do like automating as many tasks on my computer as possibly can. So for the last year or so I've been playing around with AppleScript, mainly copying the scripts I found from different sources, but along the way I'm slowly beginning to understand how to put... more info
Customer Review: Before reading this book, I had only run scripts with the occasional copy and paste. After this book, I feel I have a great understanding for what AppleScript actually is, when to use it, and how to use it. In short, it's a full featured language that is ideal for small automation tasks and larger... more info
Customer Review: Exactly what I was looking for! Finally, a book about Apple Scripting that doesn't teach you how to write a script that e-mails your friends when you upload new tracks to your iTunes library!
Mr. Rosenthal has broken down Scripting to a basic level but the book can also be used by a proficient... more info
Customer Review: As a person with rudimentary programming experience (I've taken basic courses in Pascal and C) I'm finding Mr. Trinko's book helpful. The criticism that his injecting bits of humor interferes with learning AppleScript doesn't resonate with me. While not every pun evokes a grin, they take up only a... more info
Customer Review: As an experienced applescripter, I was really disappointed with this book. It's just a boring, uninformative rundown of the scripting dictionaries of some OS 9 applications, with a very weak introduction to scripting in OS 10. I learned nothing from this book, and if I were a beginner, I still would... more info
Customer Review: I loved Danny Goodman's Complete HyperCard Handbook and have relied on it for years. So when I wanted to learn what is really going on in AppleScript and how to do things with it, I figured I could count on Goodman. I was not disappointed. I had already read the entire reference manual on... more info
Customer Review: Someone needs to write a book on Applescript Studio. This sure isn't it. 95% of it is on Applescript ONLY. This was supposed to on Applescript Studio, remember? I suspect the Studio part was left out because the author doesn't really know it very well. What few items look at Applescript Studio, and... more info
