As a result of this vision, Mac OS X has two built-in features that are simply lacking in Windows, and they enable “productivity” applications that are truly the envy of the Windows world: Applescript and Application Services. I would in fact argue that Apple's disinterest in pursuing OSA scripting beyond AppleScript has significantly hindered the interest in workflow/app scripting on OS X. The following script from the AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X, Second Edition by Hanaan Rosenthal (Apress). Learn AppleScript: The Comprehensive Guide to Scripting and Automation on Mac OS X, Third Edition (Learn Series), Probably the most current AppleScript resource available. I'd wager that a fair number of AppleScript users would be surprised to learn that they don't need an app like Photoshop in order to script things like rotating or resizing an image. Even Microsoft uses it, he says (for work on developing Office for Macintosh). Keep in mind that before Automator, I was never able to learn enough Applescript to write any scripts myself and was reliant on web resources and the kindness of its many Applescript gurus. Any language (such as JavaScript) that conforms to that OSA specification will therefore work to automate my application without a single change on my part. If you really want to learn about applescripting, books are your best bet. This is the second edition of Hanaan Rosenthals critically-acclaimed AppleScript book.
