Apple Automator with AppleScript Bible

Other titles out on the market lump Automator into discussions of AppleScript and Xcode, giving Automator very little attention it deserves. "Apple Automator with AppleScript Bible" provides the right amount of attention to Automator, but at the same time provides AppleScript essentials for the more advanced readers. The "Apple Automator with AppleScript Bible" starts by introducing automation in brief as well as Mac OS X Automator and AppleScript concepts. The reader will quickly learn how to use the interface, as well as learn some key terms (such as actions, workflows, variables, watched folders, and the like). As soon as some fundamentals are in place, the reader will ramp up and learn such things as how to manipulate files and folders, working with PDFs, emails and web pages, scheduling workflows and setting up watch folders, creating and using variables, manually record actions, create AppleScript tools that further automate functions and more.
