This is the second edition of Hanaan Rosenthals critically-acclaimed AppleScript book. It goes the extra mile to teach you AppleScript, explaining advanced topics without leaving you behind.
AppleScript is the high-level scripting language that resides on the Mac platform.

  • Takes you on a journey from novice to professional AppleScripter.
  • Is completely comprehensive; nothing is left to the imagination.
