AppleScript Documentation

AppleScript Documentation 10/29/2003 12:13 AM
AppleScript is Apple's native scripting technology. It enables users to directly control applications, including the Mac OS itself, by creating sets of English-like instructions, or scripts. Developers can make their applications scriptable; that is, capable of responding to Apple events. Carbon and Cocoa applications both support scripting, allowing applications to execute scripts or send individual Apple events to take advantage of features of other applications.

Applescript vs. Cocoa

Applescript vs. Cocoa 02/07/2005 01:20 AM
"Ken Ferry mailed me about my iTunes controller, wondering what the overhead was for using Applescript in my Lisp controller. With a little experimentation I found that calling out to the shell added about 350ms to the runtime for each call, plus execution time. To refresh a page which interrogates iTunes for the current track, the current volume, and whether it was set to play on random or not would take well over a second just to call the scripts."

What is "delegation" in AppleScript? 06/17/2004 12:59 PM
Delegation in AppleScript is similar to a filter. Using delegation, you can catch events which are not owned by you, then make some operations or let them flow.

Experiences with AppleScript

Experiences with AppleScript 04/08/2005 12:25 PM
Simon Brown: "If you've not seen AppleScript, it's a cross between a 3rd generation language and english. There's a fairly good language guide on the Apple website, although it's no tutorial. The script editor itself works well and I particularly like the way it auto-indents when you save or compile."

AppleScript Basics

AppleScript Basics 08/12/2004 01:26 PM
You use AppleScript's Script Editor application to write small programs or scripts that include specially worded statements. AppleScript statements are converted by Mac OS into Apple events--messages that can be understood by the operating system and applications. When you run a script, the script can send instructions to the operating system or applications and receive messages in return.
