  An Introduction to AppleScript on Mac OS X

Applescript is very familiar- Cocoa and C++ Object programming much less so. The initial book from O'Reilly on Cocoa was more of an overview and did not begin to describe the underpinnings.


The Studio mailing list that has been set up on the Apple boards shows by the messages sent that the people who are able to quickly use Studio have considerable experience outside of Applescript.


The exercise in the article was very helpful as well as the script to download. Looks like the learning curve is initially steep- hope you can provide a guide to learn to use Studio as quickly as practical

    One page says 12 Dec 2001 Applescript Studio available :
    http://developer.apple.com/macosx/
    Linked to page says available later this year :
    http://www.apple.com/applescript/macosx/ascript_studio/

    I think there are guys who buy in at higher prices and get betas sooner and these guys are on that list?

      As a paid up Developer, I did get access to Studio 4 days before the general release. Not a huge diff.

      How is your experieicen so far in learning Studio?

        Got the cheapest cd distribution and didn't see it on December issue. Suspect that the 12th Dec brackets mean they couldn't publish it on my cd delivered month first and it will be on next months. What I suspect that I must do, if I wanted it now, is download the entire disk image of all developer tools. I think I recall now reading that you couldn't separately download it. That might mean a trip to the apple store where I can access by high speed Airport.

          That's about as best as I figured where it is for me.
