5.0 out of 5 starsDelivery and Content
By Computnik on January 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Delivery was good, on-time, good condition.
Content was good; overall, AppleScript is overly wordy for a scripting language, and this edition as a Developer Reference does not conform to the present offerings in Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8.2).

2.0 out of 5 starsNot a reference and not much useful programming information
By ErikTrips on June 24, 2012
Format: Paperback
I worked over halfway through this book before giving up on it. I know a little programming, and was hoping that a "developer's reference" would be full of information about how to do things like control applications and manipulate files with AppleScript, but this book mostly reads like an advertisement for what AppleScript can do, without actually showing the reader how to do very much of it at all, other than pop up a dialog box congratulating you for assigning a value to a variable.

There is very little explanation of programming logic in this volume, although the examples are short and very simple, so if you were not familiar with programming, the book probably would not be overly complicated. But it seems too simple to me: it does not have much to say about control statements nor how to structure anything more involved than a single command at a time. And the examples are not only short, but several of them are repeated almost verbatim, without adding any new concepts, as though the book were not edited to eliminate redundant passages.

If you know any programming at all, Apple's own AppleScript Language Guide is much more of a developer's reference than this book. If you do not know programming, I would advise looking elsewhere for better grounding in how to construct useful scripts. I certainly would not recommend this book to anyone interested in learning something about scripting in general or AppleScript in particular. The only thing this book has going for it is its rank simplicity, but even beginners are going to get tired of endless dialog box payoffs in the place of useful scripts.

This is an awesome learning tool. It helped me tremendously. It is now becoming an excellent reference too. The price made the purchase more than worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent AppleScript guide book
By John K. Thorsen Jr. on May 18, 2010
Format: Paperback
Mark Munro brings clear language and keen organization to the exposition of AppleScript. However, this book is more than an excellent reference guide to the AppleScript language, it is a passionate paean to automation and efficiency.
