It's good for people who know other programming languages. That's who it seems designed for. Or if you've already muddled your way into AppleScript and now want to learn it properly. But it's not the best book for most first-timers. > > Some folks speak highly of "AppleScript for Applications" by Ethan Wilde.

I used it to get started. I would strongly recommend the Danny Goodman book after a few of the early primers. 2ns edition. You can get it via amazon.com - it's hard to find elsewhere (it's a print-on-demand book).The AppleScript language itself has hardly changed, so it's really not out of date if you stop at the end of Part II (which gets you to p. 310 - quite a lot!) . Don't even turn the page into part III (applications) - that's so out of date it's not worth even looking at. The AS Language stuff is beautifully explained. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
