I don't know what computer background you had before you started to use a
mac so answering that question may go way over your head or then again
maybe not. in Linux and Unix shell scripts can be written; these are one
step below executable programs in terms of capabilities for doing things
on your system. Dos had batch language and the Linux and Unix script
languages are a superset of dos and windows batch language. In other
words all that can be done with dos and windows batch languages can also
be done by Unix and Linux script languages but the Unix and Linux script
languages can do more. Apple scripts are equivalents of Unix and Linux
script language programs and may be even more capable. I'm researching
that. Tutorials for apple script exist on the web too.

I see Apple scripts on my machine when I move around. I wanted to know its
uses and why if any would have a need or want to use them?

While it is true that knowing Objective C is a very good way to write
programs with Cocoa interfaces it is not the only way. The Apple
development systems supports writing programs with Cocoa interfaces in
Java, Perl, Ruby and even AppeScript. It is possible to write even very
complex programs, of r example my DTBmaker program is don in a combination
of Perl and AppleScript with a Cocoa interface.
