Cocoa is the user interface system used by many new programs, You can
have a Cocoa interface in a AppleScript, Perl, C, or any number of
other programing languages.
AppleScript is the OS wide scripting language in the MacOS think of it
sort of like the Mac version of JAWS scripting.
Here is a simple example:
tell application "Finder"
set desktop_count to count of items in desktop
end tell
say desktop_count
What we are dong here is to tell the Finder to up into the variable
desktop_count a number which corresponds to the number of items,
files, directories, disks and so on that are on the desktop. Then we
stop using the finder with the "end tell" command.
The variable is now set to a number. We can now use it to do math or
display it in a dialog or, as in this case, have the Mac say it aloud
with the line "say desktop_count"
