What
is AppleScript, Anyway?
AppleScript
is a language created by Apple Computer and used by the Mac OS to
control the actions of scriptable applications and to transfer information
between applications, or between computers, or between networks,
or between you and the computer.
In
many ways AppleScript is more than a language. It is also a way
to automate actions that you would normally perform on the computer.
AppleScript
is unlike other computer languages because its syntax (the phrasing
of the language) is very much like the way we think and speak. It
has verbs, nouns, adjectives, and prepositions which explains why
so many developers and Mac users have at least a passing experience
with it. |
