About the Author
Ethan Wilde bought his first computer, an Apple II, in 1979 after taking a programming class at San Francisco's Exploratorium science museum. The experience changed his life, and Apple computers have been close to Ethan ever since. Now a principal in Mediatrope, an award-winning multimedia company, Ethan has a whole family of Macs to script and care for, when he is not writing books and giving workshops on AppleScripting.
From the Back Cover
AppleScript is back in the limelight. A new version of AppleScript, the subject of this book, shows a 10x speed improvement over the AppleScript of the last decade, and also incorporates a host of new features. In addition, AppleScript is to be a part of Rhapsody, and a strong power-user and developers tool for many years to come.
Why all this attention? AppleScript has undergone a rebirth in the last two years. For instance Applescript is the now second most popular language for CGI development after PERL.
This is pretty surprising. Why is it so? Previously a language for automating your Macintosh, AppleScript is now a language for automating the Internet. Using simple third party plug-ins, including Marionet from IncWell DMG Ltd., you can use AppleScript to reach out onto the Internet. For example, AppleScript is used by many graphics professionals to automate their repetitive tasks with Photoshop and QuarkXPress.Using scripts from this book, you can now automate those tasks on the graphics files on your web site. Or use AppleScript to search newsgroups for you, or even write your own simple custom web browser in AppleScript.
In addition, with other easy add-ons you can use AppleScript to control servers and computers from other vendors, including Windows and Windows NT.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
