AppleScript - The Definitive Guide by Matt Neuburg

Any thoughts/opinions?


If you are interested in this book, then you'll absolutely want to read the sample chapter which is linked from this page:

http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/applescpttdg/

In fact, even if you aren't going to get the book, you'll definitely want to read that chapter. It covers AppleScript's barely-explicable identifier scoping. Long time scripters *may* have a visceral understanding of scoping that nearly matches the contents of the chapter, but the rules have never been laid out cleanly, clearly, and completely before.


Cheers,
Mike
