Summary: Not exactly what I hoped
Review: This book deals not so much with a broad understanding of Applescript as much as it does how to do some basic things in different applications. The introductory section is great, but some of the really needed things for folks doing real automation, like creating and saving files under multiple names, printing files to multiple printers or appending files are not even touched. The examples are given good context, which is a plus, but I'm not sure this title was worth the cash, especially since a lot of the application titles have new versions out.

Summary: Not very helpful
Review: Unclear if my problems learning AppleScript from this book stem from the book itself or from the language.Programming concepts are very faintly discussed. Should you, the reader, ever dare to diverge from recipes in the text, you'll have to search online to find more thorough discussion of the language. And then, you'll be sifting through all the tutorials that date from pre-OS X. Seek another book if you can find one, or better yet, stick to a real programming language like Perl.
