  Scripting Basics to Intermediate Tutorials/Lessons/Books

  Posted by David Alex on May 4, 2012 at 9:02 am

  Hello good people!
  So I have an EXTREMELY repetitive process that I’d like to automate with a script, problem is I know little to nothing about scripting.
  So, I humbly request direction to where I can learn the basics. Video tutorials, forums, books, written tutorials, I don’t mind the format, as long as I get the learnings 😀

  Please and thank you in advance,
  davdalx

  I tickle pixels!

  Hi David –

  Although the PDF is for CS3, I can’t imagine that the scripting process has changed a lot – it’s a free PDF from Adobe:

  Good luck with it!
