Autor Hanaan Rosenthalen Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 sep 2006
AppleScript is the high-level scripting language that resides on the Mac platform. It can be used to add functionality to the Mac operating system, automate tasks, add functions, and generally make things easier. AppleScript has always been very useful, and with Mac OS X, you can take AppleScript further than before.
This book begins with the basics like handling variables, loops, and commands. It proceeds with more advanced concepts like debugging, AppleScripting with databases, manipulating PDFs with SMILE, and automating media workflow. In a nutshell, this book:
- Takes you on a journey from novice to professional AppleScripter.
- Is completely comprehensive; nothing is left to the imagination.
- Is up-to-date through AppleScript 1.10/Mac OS X Tiger.
