If you’re an “advanced” Mac user, it’s very likely that you daily use AppleScrips to speed up your workflow. If you haven’t ever heard of AppleScripts, this post is for you.
AppleScript is the language of automation: you can let the script perform boring tasks in your place and forget about it. Put simply: you find yourself searching terms on Wikipedia everyday by manually opening each time en.wikipedia.org? There’s an AppleScript for that. You’d like to mark as read all your Mail.app messages? There’s an AppleScript for that.
The problem is, you need to actually know the AppleScript language to write a script.
Here, I’ve collected the best link that the web offers about this topic with examples and tutorials.
Enjoy! :)
