Basics of AppleScript
2By HeyYou 2020I can’t really review this book. I tried on both Mac and iPad, but the font selection makes reading this very difficult, if not impossible. I spent an hour or two trying to change various options, with no affect. Web sites suggest using the aA, which exists in other books, but not in this one - why? Not sure I fault the author or iBooks on this, but putting red and orange on black, or dark gray on black - how could somebody write this and not require eye surgery afterward?This is a great tool
5By Anonymous 6674454This book is very well written and the visually helpful. If you have a mac, learning this language is a great start when beginning to understand and master coding languages. Why would you want to learn this language? You want to learn it because you can learn how to control your computer.It was alright
5By redwingsfan14Learned a few things. Can’t say anything bad. In other documentation, I wasn’t able to set up my own strings and then use them later in the script. Thanks.Not much use
1By ImaHogKindergarten, outdated, scripts are incorrect. Worth the price; free.Got Me Up and Going Quickly
5By I like to calculateThis book was just what I needed to get me up and going with Applescript. Just work along with the examples and you’ll be scripting in no time. It’s not perfect - there are a few typos here and there, but nothing that intereferes with the main task of learning Applescript basics. Once you’ve worked through this book you may find, as I did, that the Apple documentation, which is essential for more advanced work, becomes much easier to understand. Many thanks for the author, Nayan Seth for writing this great introduction!Excellent introduction
5By jdenormandieExcellent introduction to AppleScript. I was able to go through the whole book in an afternoon including practicing the examples. I encourage the author to write a similar intro for other computer languages.
