  • Thread-topic: Reading "AppleScript, the definitive guide"

Thomas,

with all due respect, I think the Apple ALG is the worst way to start learning
AppleScript.
It is a good reference, good to lookup some command or feature, but not good to
learn by.
But even then, the ALG online search is so bad . . . (see below)

Just my 2c.

Also, the search of the online guide is terrible, and I'm not sure the last PDF
is up to date.
I'd suggest using Dash<https://kapeli.com/dash> -- a combo code snippet
manager, and great documentation search tool.  I use it just for the search
feature.

Dash also provides documentation search of many other languages.

Best Regards,

Jim Underwood
aka JMichaelTX

I learned most of what I know about AppleScript by studying the AppleScript
Language Guide
