Title: Bad AppleScript: Safari and curling URLs Post by: HCK on March 16, 2014, 02:00:19 pm Bad AppleScript: Safari and curling URLs
<article> <section class="page"> <p> I was listening to some podcasters I respect arguing about nuances in software development (http://atp.fm/episodes/54-goto-fail) the other day, and thought to myself: I have no idea what these guys are talking about.</p><p> The pinnacle of my programming career was being asked to be one of the people on my high school’s team at some sort of programming contest. I only knew Applesoft BASIC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applesoft_BASIC), and half the problems required a more advanced language than that. Thus ended my life as a coder.</p><p> But thanks to Apple’s scripting language, AppleScript, I am just powerful enough to be dangerous. I have written many bad AppleScripts in my day. I will probably write many more.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2105200/bad-applescript-safari-and-curling-urls.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article> Source: Bad AppleScript: Safari and curling URLs (http://www.macworld.com/article/2105200/bad-applescript-safari-and-curling-urls.html#tk.rss_all) |
