Hi All,
Today, I had updated the book contents (Japanese version).
This is the
preparation for English translated version (if possible).
In Japan, I wrote “AppleScript latest reference for macOS 10.11” in seven years
ago.
Its English version did not exist.
Japanese version book is on the assumption that older version.
English translated version book will be the first one.
So, I wrote "Introduction" section and "Remote Apple Events".
Now this translation project have 19 supporters.
If we get one more supporter, this project will start.
Here is a crowdfunding page.

Thank you,

>
> Updated to match the latest OS environment
>
> Updated for macOS 12/13/14 to match the current AppleScript v2.8 environment.
> As much as possible, we track changes in terminology dictionaries for each
> application since macOS 10.13 and evaluate the security constraints of each
> AppleScript execution program using benchmark scripts.
>
> Wider, easier to understand, more detailed
>
> The number of pages has been significantly increased from the original
> "AppleScript Latest Reference" (483 pages) to 974 pages. As a result, we have
> expanded the scope of explanation.
>
> In addition, we have adopted a chapter structure divided by the difficulty of
> the explanation content and the level of the intended user.
>
> Useful information for beginners to Script (Introduction), Useful information
> for Script users (Usage), Useful information for users who actually write
> scripts (Practical), Useful information to look up when you have a problem.
> Information (materials), etc.

> editor's context menu, "Piyomaru Script Templates" which can be called as a
> script editor template, and "Dynamic Menu Clicker" which is a powerful helper
> for GUI Scripting. It will be configured (I will attach it all together from
> now on, as it requires some modification).
>
> This book is an easy-to-understand summary of information that will be useful
> for both those who are planning to dabble in Script and those who are already
> using it.
