APPLESCRIPT PRO SESSIONS OFFERED IN MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA Five-day training event features in-depth coverage of major scripting applications Atlanta, Georgia--A unique opportunity to learn more about AppleScript is coming to Monterey, California, May 2-6, 2005. Shane Stanley of Myriad Communications of Melbourne, Australia, and Ray Robertson of Scripting Matters of Atlanta are again teaming up to offer five days of AppleScript Pro Sessions. "This will be our seventh Pro Sessions, and we are looking forward to returning to Monterey," said Robertson. "It is a beautiful place, and students find it the perfect place to learn and relax." AppleScript is a unique automation technology bundled with the Macintosh operating system. "AppleScript is one of Apple's best kept secrets, and it's saving smart businesses millions of dollars," said Stanley. "It can literally change your working life--you can finally make computers do all the tedious things they're supposed to do." Suited for both new and experienced scripters, the class emphasis is on practical scripting information you can use across a range of applications. "I don't know of any other event that offers such a wide variety of AppleScript training, from a full-day each on QuarkXPress and InDesign, to looking at the scripting features in Photoshop, learning about AppleScript Studio, and much more," said Robertson. The first day of the sessions is an introduction to AppleScript. Subsequent days look at scripting real-world applications. "I can think of no better way for a beginner to learn than by getting an introduction to AppleScript, and then seeing how it is implemented in many different applications," said Robertson. "A CD with all course scripts--many of which will be an aid to experienced scripters--is also included." Pricing starts at $1200 for any three days, with a special discounted package of $1600 for all five days. The early bird rate is available through March 15, or until the event sells out. The sessions will be held at the Casa Munras Garden Hotel, a five-minute walk from downtown Monterey. Attendees may reserve a room at the hotel for a special group rate of $94/night, which includes a full breakfast. But the number of rooms is limited, so early registration is strongly encouraged. "We've had some requests to take the event to major metropolitan areas," said Robertson. "But with most attendees staying for at least four days, and some coming from other countries, we find going to a smaller resort location works well. Monterey offers affordable food and lodging in a beautiful setting, with multiple airports and transportation options in the area."
