Great beginner's guide to AppleScript
Many years ago I started playing with AppleScript. For some reason, it failed to hold my attention, though I know you can do many cool tricks with it. Perhaps I'd still be at it if I had found an overview like the one posted at AppStorm.This well-written guide starts with the basics and builds from there. I've seen entirely too many AppleScript guides that either go from the Tell statement right to masters-level stuff or that end entirely after creating the obligatory "Hello, world!" script.Joshua, writing for AppStorm, covers variables, accessing dictionaries and walks readers through the creation of a handy Mail script. It's not comprehensive, of course, but just right as an introduciton. Check it out and get scripting.
