Rather than focusing on applications, this guide to AppleScript provides a systematic treatment of the language from the bottom up. Covering AppleScript 1.9.2 and the new Script Editor, it explains how the language works and demonstrates how it can be used in a variety of contexts--in everyday scripts, process automation, in Cocoa, in CGI, and in combination with Perl and Ruby. The book assumes no prior knowledge or previous programming experience, but nevertheless seeks to offer a complete treatment of the language's capabilities. Neuberg is a programmer and former editor of MacTech. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
