David,
Re: your expected audience
At this point the use of Studio requires both a knowledge of
AppleScript and
some understanding of "real" programming; it is not nearly as
intuitive and
easy to use as Dialog Director or FaceSpan on the OS 9-side. So the
inclusion of it seems to kick your target audience up a bit, unless
you are
diligent about keeping it simple (but still useful, i.e. more than
"hello
world").
My plan is, after covering some fundamentals, such as in depth coverage
of handlers and script objects, and introducing each development
environment, to build one or two complex applications (on the order of
Mail Search) with each of the highlighted technologies. You're right
about the complexity of ASStudio, and a great deal of the book will be
dedicated to delving into its intricacies.
