Hello Daniela. Applescript is very easy to learn through just trial and error, but I have a few resources that I’ll pass along that I think you and others may find helpful. The first one is http://macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/index.html <http://macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/index.html>. I have not used that one, but I’ve heard good things about it. Also, the book is available on the iBooks store.
I’ve used the language guide available from the help menu of the editor, but I think that it is structured poorly and somewhat hard to use. I also found this helpful: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptX/Concepts/work_with_as.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001568-BABEBGCF <https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptX/Concepts/work_with_as.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40001568-BABEBGCF> There is an example on that page that told me basically everything I needed to know on how a script is written. You can allso learn a lot from just looking at the scripts in /Library/Scripts. Hope this helps. Good luck. On Feb 27, 2015, at 11:19 AM, Daniela Rubio <mabuha...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello dear Barry. Thanks for sharing all this resources. I am trying to work on scripts again after some time. I have little time, but a lot of desire. If there was a course that I could take, I definitely would do it! lol! Thanks again! Daniela Rubio T Distinguished Educator Macneticos, Apple y accesibilidad a tu alcance.
