I use iTunes-U a great deal and would be interested in knowing what
those actions are!
They basically wrap the iTunes U web service. They're mostly of
interest to iTunes U administrators. They allow you to do things like
batch add/modify/delete courses, groups, tracks, sections,
divisions ... upload content to iTunes U, get site usage statistics,
obtain iTunes U site XML, find specific resources in an iTunes U
site. I'm adding additional actions to add/modify/delete permissions
as well as upload artwork for banners and course covers. If you're an
iTunes U admin/content creator, they may be of interest to you. :)
The iTunes U web service is described in the iTunes U admin guide.
The service is RESTful and, in my opinion, pretty awesome. My actions
make heavy use of Cocoa's NSXMLDocument and its XPath/XQuery engine.
In answer to the venerable Mr. Anguish's question (you are hardly
going to find a bigger Cocoa expert), that's pretty much why they are
written in Obj-C ... because NSXMLDocument is pretty darned cool (in
its own right) and I can "think" in Obj-C a lot more easily than in
AppleScript. :)
