I’m such a huge fan of tutorials which take the time to explain why to do something a certain way, not just how. Today’s shining example: ‘Building OS X Apps with JavaScript’ by the talented, Brooklyn-based designer/developer Tyler Gaw.

Tackling a subject which I’ve been giving a lot of thought to recently as I plan future scripting projects, Tyler documents some of OS X’s new JavaScript automation possibilities with this very thoughtful primer. Not only has he created an additional page of app examples to flesh things out further, but he invokes a screenshot of Prince to illustrate his work – an act which alone merits an additional 94.9003 bonus points on the Veritrope Scale of Excellence™.

Highly recommended.
