With luck, in the nearish future, I may be doing a 2 hour introductory
course for Applescript on our campus. The idea will be to give people
who haven't used it a start, with a target audience being those people
doing repetitive tasks on a Mac.
Below is a list of what I thought would be useful topics to bring into
an introductory course. I thought I'd just ask this list if anyone has
anything they would really liked to have explained when starting
scripting.
Topics:
The core language - what it looks like, functions, loops
Script Resources - ASLG, editors, Script Menu etc
Scripting extensions- what they are, where they go
Using dictionaries - what they are, how you use them, standard additions
Controlling applications - tell something to do something
Controlling Files - scripting the Finder, moving files on the basis of
criteria
Saving scripts as applications - droplets and stay open scripts, idle
Scripting in Mac OS X - do shell script, mentioning gui scripting is a
coming thing.
Regards,
David Hood
