What's AppleScript you ask?
AppleScript is an automation language for Mac OS X. These scripts are used inside Application bundles to perform pretty simple tasks; or sometimes more complex.
The language is pretty easy to learn. It is based on the fact that everything is an object. Writing scrips is is pretty easy, and very intuitive.
While not many people really use this language, or ever did, except for OS X Devs, it's something that will give you experience in scripting and coding.
Back when I learned the barebones of Applescript I used this site: http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/firsttutorial/
Great tutorials. Definitely something I think you scripters would like to learn simply for experience.

that link Wrote:Everything belongs to, is related to, is contained in, or is part of something else.
lol, it's like that for anything.
However, I knew about AppleScript, it's very similar to English and I don't really like it. But well, it's supposed to be easy, nice and simple.
