Applescript The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X
£28.74
Best for me - 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.
