I’m often asked by readers about good AppleScript resources (and Automator Resources) for people interested in learning more. Here is a list of some of the books, videos, tools, and websites that I currently use, recommend, and enjoy!

Resource Type	Item Link	Description
Books/Videos
	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 think it's well-written and is a fantastic resource for AppleScripters at any level.
	Sal Soghoian's "AppleScript 1-2-3"	Sal is considered "The Grand Poobah" of AppleScript and, when you read this book, you'll understand why. Eventually hired by Apple as AppleScript's Project Manager, Sal also plays a mean guitar.
	Automator for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide	Ben Waldie runs Automated Workflows (see below) and has authored many articles and books about AppleScript and Automator.
	Mac at Work	David Sparks covers the nuts and bolts of using your Mac at work -- and includes a chapter on how to use Automator and AppleScript!
	Apple Automator with AppleScript Bible	Another really excellent primer on Automator.
	AppleScript (Developer Reference)	A new Wiley book about AppleScript.
	'AppleScriptObjC Explored'	AppleScriptObjC Explored by Shane Stanley is the definitive guide to building AppleScript Objective-C applications.

Websites
	Veritrope.com Code Library	Our own little playground to share and collaborate on AppleScript projects for a variety of apps!

	The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To AppleScript	Josh Johnson wrote "The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide To AppleScript" for AppStorm: Mac in 2009 -- and it's still a great primer on how to get started.
	Automated Workflows	A site run by Ben Waldie -- one of the real gurus of using AppleScript and Automator.

	AppleScript Topic on Quora	Quora is a free site which organizes people and their interests to help find, collect, and share information.
	Learn To Speak AppleScript	My own ongoing, open-ended tutorial series -- aimed more at "the mental game" of programming rather than the nuts-and-bolts of programming.
Tools
	FastScripts	One of my favorite Mac apps of all time -- hands down! FastScripts gives you the ability to easily manage and run all your AppleScripts. An essential tool for any scripter!
	Script Debugger	The Ultimate Script Editor. It isn't cheap but, if you're writing a lot of scripts, it's far and away the best way to do it!
	AppleScriptObjC Explorer	AppleScriptObjC Explorer 2 is a script editor that takes advantage of AppleScript’s ability to call Cocoa methods in OS X 10.6 and later.
	ASObjC Runner	ASObjC Runner.app is a free scriptable background application for running AppleScriptObjC code. Using it, you can run scripts that include AppleScriptObjC code from script menus/panels/launchers. You can also use it to include snippets of AppleScriptObjC in otherwise “vanilla” AppleScript scripts, and to add custom dialogs to your scripts and script applications.
	Snippets	My favorite "Code Manager" for the Mac right now -- it makes it easy to collect, reuse, and share AppleScript source code.
