I own many ORA "Nutshell" books and this falls WAY off the mark. The structure of the book is horrible. The examples are useless and trying to find an answer to simple questions is a farce.

Try determining if an AppleScript variable can be used as a array. Using the book, try to read a list of files into a array and print them out. You won't be able to determine how to do this because there is no command definition and usage for the command "set" in the book. This is atypical of an ORA Nutshell book.

Part III, Part IV & Part V are useless to anyone who wants to create productive scripts. It is 265 pages of filler that is useless unless you want to write parlor tricks!

There is no section that breaks down every command in the language and presents it like the other Nutshell books.

Avoid this book. It needs a major rewrite!
