You could be saving yourself time and money right now using tools you probably
didn't even know you had. AppleScript, a powerful and free scripting tool included
on every Macintosh, enables individuals, professionals, and businesses to save
time and money by automating time-consuming, repetitive tasks. Hallmark, for example,
used AppleScript to reduce the number of color proofs needed to create a greeting
card from a range of 5 to 25 expensive proofs per card down to just two. The best
part? You don't need a degree in engineering to create powerful, results-driven
scripts.
In AppleScript 1-2-3 Apple's AppleScript product manager, Sal Soghoian, teaches
beginners how to address nearly any automation task on the Macintosh. Broken
down into three parts, the book starts by explaining AppleScript fundamentals
through a series of hands-on how-tos designed to teach you how to write functional
scripts. The second section expands on the knowledge gained in the first section
with an in-depth examination of useful AppleScript tools and techniques, and
the third section uses sample scripts to demonstrate how to automate Apple and
third-party applications. If you're looking to work more productively by automating
your workflow, you'll want this primer written by the leading expert in the
field-no one knows more about AppleScript than Sal.
