Sources for Learning AppleScript
I get asked a lot about where to find resources for learning AppleScript, so far these are the best ones I know of. If you would like others added to the list please post them in comments. :)
Training Scripting Matters, Inc.
AppleScript Pro Sessions
AppleScript Pro Sessions is run by two of the best AppleScripters in the world, Ray Robertson and Shane Stanley. I attended an ASPro a couple of years ago and the training I received changed my life. I understood so much about scripting that I automated 90% of my daily workflow within a few months of attending the seminar. One of the major benefits of attending this training is the private mailing list you get to join. This is an invaluable resource for an AppleScripter.
I can't recommend this training enough! It's a life changer!
