This is not an Apple publication. It is a third-party book, and it is a secondary source: where it disagrees with Apple's own service documentation, the Apple document wins.

What it covers

[edit | edit source]

An introduction to AppleScript published by BMUG, the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group, a membership-based non-profit which the book notes is "neither affiliated with, nor receives monetary support from Apple Computer or any other for-profit entity". It works through scripting and then through scripting specific applications of the period.

What it does not contain

[edit | edit source]
  • Nothing about hardware. No specifications, no procedures, no part numbers, no diagrams.
  • Every application version it scripts is obsolete.
