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.
An alternate way is to use Smile, a (free) AppleScript development
environment less gorgeous than AppleScript Studio (not Cocoa), but
faster to use and much more powerful when it comes to scalability and
elementary features like regular expressions, maths, Unicode or XML.
- AppleScript: <http://www.apple.com/applescript/>. Do not dismiss the
AppleScript Language Guide.
If you're not new to programming, my advice would be: do read
AppleScript Language Guide.
There are people here who are unanimously considered "AppleScript
gurus". They are really thorough readers who once read it all, I
think.
