Regarding the learning of AppleScript, I bought a book, read the
out-of-date Apple user's manual, relied on my experience programming
a number of other languages, and of course read the dictionaries of
the applications. And nothing did the trick until I found this email
list.
Although I could figure out most things myself, it seemed like I'd
always come across a show stopper, something I just could not
understand without help. I'd ask a question on this group, and not
only get an answer, but also a background lecture as well.
So now I feel very comfortable. I understand the limitations of the
language and that some apps have better implementations than others.
I can read between the lines in the dictionary, and know that
sometimes you have to play around with different approaches to a
problem.
It would be nice if there was an excellent book on the subject, but I
found that the book I had included examples that simply didn't work
on my system. With nobody to ask I was simply stuck ... until I found
this list.
