Sorry to revive this dead thread, but apparently Danny Goodman's book has been updated in a 3rd edition for OS X (as an e-book - see <http://www.spiderworks.com/>). No idea what it's like, and surprised to see it back. Will have to check out the sample chapter.

Just took a look at the PDF sample myself, though it only contains chapters 1 and 2 which is just boring background stuff that doesn't give much idea of what the main body of the book will be like. (They should really post one of the middle chapters; something with a bit of meat on it. Might be worth suggesting this to the publisher.)


FWIW, out of the chapters given I did think the part that introduces AppleScript to existing programmers was rather confusing and a bit dated. But I wouldn't want to judge the whole book by those few pages alone.
