Applescript in a Nutshell: A Desktop Quick Reference
By Bruce Perry
Published 2001
Amazon.com Cocoa and Carbon may have grabbed the attention of Mac OS
programmers lately, but AppleScript remains the tool of choice for
programmers who prefer to interact with their operating system and
applications at a relatively high level. AppleScript in a Nutshell documents
AppleScript throughout its evolution, including the versions that ship with
Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.1. Explanations of how to script the Mac OS X desktop
and the TextEdit application that accompanies Mac OS X are particularly
handy.
The lion's share of Bruce Perry's treatment of the language explains, with a
minimum of frills, how each aspect of the AppleScript language works. This
is classic O'Reilly, and it works well. For each statement (such as "with
transaction") and reserved word (such as "anything"), you get a concise
statement of syntax, examples of proper usage, an explanation of what's
going on, and caveats where they're required. Classes--the one that the
Finder uses to represent folders, for instance--are presented with each of
their properties and methods listed alphabetically, and explained, usually
with an example. The scripting techniques that are specific to applications,
such as Sherlock 2 and the Speech Listener--are similar, with commands and
classes presented alphabetically with all options presented explicitly. This
book is a comprehensive treatment of a really useful language. Check out
Learning Carbon and Learning Cocoa if you want to delve deeper into Mac OS
programming. --David Wall
