Hi folks,
I am delighted to announce the release of Learn AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X, Third Edition by Hamish Sanderson and Hanaan Rosenthal.
This edition has been completely overhauled for Mac OS X 10.6. Enhanced and expanded with hundreds of pages of new content, it includes major guest contributions from expert AppleScripters: Emmanuel Levy, Harald Monihart, Ian Piper, Shane Stanley, Barry Wainwright, and Craig Williams.
Ideal for first-time scripters, with a gentle introduction to the concepts and techniques that underpin AppleScript and application scripting, while also providing more experienced AppleScript users with a wealth of knowledge and detail. Explore a wide range of scriptable applications, from popular lifestyle applications such as iTunes, iCal, and Mail, to professional productivity tools including Microsoft Office and Adobe InDesign. Master AppleScript's built-in text processing features, or take your skills to the next level with our introduction to regular expressions. Get to grips with advanced AppleScript features such as handlers and script objects, and start developing your own GUI applications with Snow Leopard's new AppleScript-Cocoa bridge, AppleScriptObjC.
You can learn more about the book and view a generous preview of its contents over at the Apress website:

Whether you're a novice scripter or experienced developer, we hope you find this book an essential companion in your journey into the wonderful world of AppleScript 2 and Mac OS X automation.
Enjoy!
