Learn AppleScript and how to create powerful software automation solutions
with TECSoft’s interactive training CD.

AMAGANSETT, NEW YORK – May 8, 2001 – TECSoft announced today its new

AppleScript is Apple Computer’s English-like scripting language used to
automate key tasks performed on the Macintosh computer. It’s like automatic
pilot for the Mac. With AppleScript users can increase productivity and
save time to work smarter, not harder.

version of our Workflow Automation with AppleScript training,” said TECSoft
founder John Thorsen Jr. “Outside of a classroom environment, our training
CD delivers the richest AppleScript training experience possible.”

and be productive with AppleScript. Along with teaching AppleScript
fundamentals, the training also covers scripting FileMaker Pro, Canto
Cumulus, QuarkXPress and the Finder. The CD reinforces AppleScript concepts
with hands-on exercises that conclude with the user scripting real-world
AppleScript automation solutions. The CD also features:

* 12 hours of training content.
* 26 QuickTime movies showing AppleScript demos, key concepts, and
solutions to the training exercises
* 13 hands-on exercises designed to reinforce learning
