The fourth edition of ‘AppleScriptObjC Explored’, the indispensible reference to AppleScriptObjC, is now available.
Since the release of the third edition there have been significant changes to Xcode, and subsequently how applications are developed. Unfortunately, but inevitably, things have become a bit more complicated.
The new edition covers the changes that have been introduced in Xcode 4.4 and later, as well as in OS X 10.8, plus other new material and projects.
Changes include new projects covering drag-and-drop in tables and making an application scriptable, plus an expanded Xcode section with a subsection on mastering build settings. There are also several new chapters in the Reference section. Code for more than 25 projects is included.
The price is unchanged at $US29.95, and purchasers of previous versions can upgrade for $US10 between now and December 31, 2012. Upgrades are free for those who bought the book since July 1 this year.
Notification of how to upgrade will be emailed over the coming week.
