AppleScript is an English-like language used to write scripts that automate the actions of Mac OS X and its hosted
applications. Much more than a macro-language that simply repeats your recorded actions, AppleScript scripts can “think,” making decisions based on user-interaction or by parsing and analyzing data, documents or situations. And Apple’s new release of Mac OS X Tiger includes many new powerful scripting features while making it easier to access AppleScript tools and abilities.
The MacWorld AppleScript Power Tools sessions are designed to provide a solid indoctrination and foundation in AppleScript for those motivated Mac users who want to begin taking advantage of this incredible automation tool. The sequential sessions are meant to deliver a “hands-on” experience, so bring a laptop to get the most of the in-depth discussions and examples. If you’ve been meaning to learn AppleScript but have not had the opportunity, this conference is for you!
