AppleScript Scripting Technical Notes
Scripting provides a relatively simple mechanism for automating operations and controlling other software. Developers can create plaintext script files that are interpreted by one or more applications, such as a JavaScript interpreter in a browser, AppleScript, or the Terminal application (a command-line interpreter available in Mac OS X). Among many uses for scripting, developers use shell scripts in Xcode as part of the build process; website administrators make frequent use of JavaScript and Perl; users of all types write AppleScript scripts to control scriptable applications, as well as many parts of the Mac OS. |
