Apple has a web page that shows some resources for AppleScript:
<
http://www.apple.com/applescript/resources/>
Apple has a language guide which explains a lot. There is a web
version:
<
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/
interapplicationcomm/AppleScript/AppleScriptLangGuide/index.html>
and a PDF version:
<
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/
AppleScriptLangGuide/AppleScriptLanguageGuide.pdf>
The AppleScript Primer series of articles by Bill Briggs is a great way
to learn AppleScript:
<

Here is another good primer for AppleScript:
<

Download the PDF on that web site, it explains a lot:

Finally, view the dictionaries of the scriptable applications. It's
the dictionaries that really give you the syntax to control each
application.

I have recently found myself in a position of having to learn/write
AppleScript. My current skills are geared towards Linux (admin &
developing) for over a decade but I am new to OS X. As a user I've
been
playing/using it for about 2 years but the only scripting or
programming
I've ever done with it has been on the *NIX level. Now I have a task
to
develop a droplet. I have Script Debugger, a plethora of URLs and a
bunch of books however I'm still a little lost. I'm seeking some
advice
on what the best way would be to ramp up quickly for developing with
AppleScript. The books I have are (in no particular order):
Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks
AppleScript in a Nutshell
AppleScript for Applications (a Visual Quickstart Guide)
AppleScript the Definitive Guide (Covers Mac OS X Panther)
Programming Mac OS X
If someone has a quick start guide to Script Debugger that would be
helpful, too.
As a side note, I have easily been able to use AppleScript to wrap all
the UNIX commands/apps/utilities I am familiar with but the customer
needing this droplet isn't likely to take that as a finished product.
