Title: AppleScript® For Dummies® by Tom Trinko ISBN: 1-56884-975-3 Publisher: Hungry Minds, Inc Pub. Date: 21 December, 1995 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $19.99 |

Summary: Hide all sharp objects...
Comment: I'm in total agreement with Chuck and especially Jerad. This book is poorly organized and poorly written. Contrary to the basic concept of the "For Dummies" series, Mr. Trinko does not clearly and concisely explain the concepts of AppleScript. The book is overflowing with off topic, idiotic attempts at humor which make it very hard to read by breaking your concentration and the flow of information (if there was any to begin with).
The title is very fitting however, I for one feel like a world class dummy for buying it.

Summary: Good starters guide
Comment: As a non-programmer I found this a really easy introduction to Applescripting - everything I know about it came from this book. The weak gags wear a little thin after a while, but I guess lighten the tone a bit. My only criticism is that there isn't more info in scripting specific apps like Quark, Illustrator etc but you can't win em all, eh?
An excellent intro to Applescripting, folks who can already program may need something more technical though.

Summary: Poorly written
Comment: If this book is for dummies then I must be an idiot. There are major gaps in the logic and it assumes that you have done lots of programming before getting this book.
