[1] NEW BAUG WEBSITE
We are happy to announce that we are moving a new website with our own
domain name: http://www.baug.org.
There is still some work to be done, particulary with regard to the
AppleScript course.
----------------------------------------
[2] APPLESCRIPT...IN FIVE WINTER NIGHTS
Warm up to AppleScript this winter on five cold, New England winter
nights. In response to several requests for beginner level training and
meeting content the Boston AppleScript User Group has arranged with the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology to hold a five session course for
beginners. This course is geared to those who may have never written a
line of script or code in their life. This course is free.
This course will be delivered in the style of an undgergraduate college
course. It will be held on five consecutive Tuesday nights beginning
January 30. Again, this course is FREE! Each session will be three hours
in length. The course content is based on the book "The AppleScript
Handbook" by Danny Goodman. To get the most out of each session you
should prepare by reading the portion of the text upon which that
evenings lecture is based. The lecture will be supported and
supplemented by discussion, questions and answers, as well as additonal
supporting examples. The one week interval between each class should be
used to develop your understanding of the material covered in the most
recent class and prepare for the next class.
----------------------------------------
[3] DATES AND LOCATION
The course will held on the following dates: January 30, February 6, 13,
20, and 27. Each session will start at 6:00pm and may run as late as
9:00pm.
ROOM: E51-372 (see link to map)

[6] NEW MEETING FORMAT FOR 2007
Beginning with our January meeting we will be changing our primary meeting
format to all scripting, all the time. We will select ideas for scripts
and develop them, possibly for release as freeware. This will give
participants an opportunity to see their brilliant idea grow from
"proof of concept" through a seemingly endless list of bugs, gotchas,
and user requests and complaints to a robust AppleScript solution. Pheew!
I'm glad that's over with.
In order to be productive we will likely work on these scripts between
meetings. The BAUG website will provide for a members only area to login
and join in on the fun. If this interests you and/or you are not currently
a BAUG member and you wish to participate you will need to attend a meeting
to get the login.
