The main limitation with pure vanilla AppleScript is that you can't do much
more GUI stuff than basic user nteraction (show a dialog, allow user to
select a file or choose an option from a list). If you need to develop a
complete GUI app with AppleScript, you need to use ASS ["AppleScript
Studio"], part of XCode. Apple runs a separate mailing list for ASS. You'll
still need to know plain AppleScript though. so it might be easier to start
with that, before moving to ASS.

Yes. Just make sure to learn to use relative paths and anticipate i18n issues
like non USAian date/time settings and 'special' characters - unicode.
- AppleScript: <http://www.apple.com/applescript/>. Do not dismiss the
AppleScript Language Guide.
- ASS: <http://www.apple.com/applescript/studio/> and
