Considering the gross lack of proper documentation for Applescript with up-to-date books, Matt Neuberg's book notwithstanding (it would be hopeless for newbies to actually learn it from that book), I would say this is simply a fact that there is no bottom line way to learn Applescript properly like the multitudinous books out there on JavaScript, Visual Basic, C, C++ and even Cocoa.
Why is it after all these years Apple still neglects this powerful tool? Even Sal Soghoian's book has been delayed more than a year. It's no wonder so many applications have poor support for Applescript to this day. And I don't think Tiger's Automator will make Applescript irrelevant. Could someone please write a book on Applescript for Office? Photoshop? InDesign? (Even Quark, if anyone still uses that.) :-) I can't believe they couldn't make good money doing that.
