AppleScript 1.1

AppleScript is Apple's powerful and versatile native scripting technology for Mac OS X. With AppleScript, you can control, and communicate among, applications, databases, networks, Web services, and even the operating system itself.

You can make your Macintosh applications scriptable so that users can write scripts to automate operations they would rather not do manually, from simple tasks to complex workflows involving multiple applications. AppleScript Studio enables you to build individual scripts and workflows into rich, functional Aqua-compliant applications, and is useful for rapid prototyping, automated testing, and other kinds of development. By taking advantage of the AppleScript support integrated throughout Mac OS X you empower your users to be creative in solving problems on their own, and you don't have to build a separate solution in anticipation of their every need.
