Hey Guys…

I just bought my first Apple Computer, and when there is a lovely language to develop thing to this os, why not do it. So I have some questions.

Which editor should I use for developing?
How is it best and easies to learn AppleScript?
How do I run the app’s?

The Script Editor in the AppleScript folder is a good way to start.

I found Danny Goodman’s “AppleScript Handbook” very useful.

You save the script as an application - it’s an option of the save dialog.

Is there any online tutorials ? … :confused:

My favorite texts are:

Beginning Applescript by Steve Kochan. His sections on scripting iLife apps are the best I have found so far.

Applescript by Haanan Rosenthal is also an excellent source on tight coding and some of the unique aspects of Applescript. He comes from a commercial angle and has a lot of good ideas on how to build solid programs.

Good Luck
