This is a great book! It got me started on programming, and I've taken off from here. This book taught me exactly the way I learn: by example. It's crammed with useful, real-world examples of code.

The superb organization of the book always left me eager for more, which was promised (and came) in the next chapter.
AppleScript is a great language to get started with, as it provides an easy introduction to important programming concepts (object-oriented programming, program flow, good practice, interface design, etc.).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
