I wanna get in touch with anyone who knows AppleScript and learn from them. Anyone interested, either reply here, or write me at bgkarma@mac.com. I'm also on AIM at bgkarma

thanks

There are a number of resources on the web for becoming familiar with AS. A couple of places to start:

Apple has Applescript modules that can be found on you latest system install CD or in the Apple Extras folder on your HD. These modules install in the Apple help system on you Mac. There are examples and these are designed to take a person from novice to good capability in a self paced turorial environment.

There is a tutorial on the Apple site that has some of these modules available to browse on line and another at site that has an alternate free script wrting editor Smile http://www.tandb.com.au/smile/

Several websites that are also excellent- macscripter.net is a good place to start and has links to most other scripting sites.

The way I learned was by duplicating the examples in the help system and by working through the turorials. That gives you enough of a sense of scripting that the advise and examples on various sites begin to be useful.

At the Apple/Applescript site http://www.apple.com/applescript/ you can also sign up for an excellent mailing list with a group of scripters who are more than willing to help a person get started or develop more sophisticated skills.

Drop me a note if there is something specific that I might help with- learning AS myself.

Hi BGK,

In addition to all the great pointers given by suthercd above, I just wanted to note that there are some other AppleScript (AS) resources listed in various related threads in this Forum, such as the New to AppleScript thread and the Where do I learn more. thread. [Note that there will be some overlap with suthercd's info, and a few of the referenced links might now be out-of-date (although they'll usually re-direct automatically).]

In particular, as you become more familiar with AppleScript, take some time to check out Bill Cheeseman's AppleScript Sourcebook website for helpful AS tips, in-depth AS articles, workarounds for AS bugs, etc.

Regards, and happy scripting,

--Paul
