Auto 101 Introduction to Workflow Automation and Scripting on OS X

Course Description
  In this 3-day course, you will develop a love for developer tools, 
using them to automate your workflow, WITHOUT becoming a full-blown 
programmer or scripter (who has the time?). This course empowers you to 
use Apple Developer Tools to solve your problems, whether you are a 
media developer, a system administrator, or a power user who wants to 
automate OS X. You will learn basic, but powerful automation and 
scripting techniques that will launch you into the wonderful world of 
automation, allowing you to spend more time doing more important things 
in life. We will focus on modifying and creating custom automations 
with Automator and AppleScript. We will then focus on Property Lists, 
the Defaults Preferences system, and launchd, underpinnings to 
automation. On day 3 we will focus on AppleScript Studio and Perl. At 
the beginning of day 1, each attendee will select some important 
real-world workflow problems, and then focus throughout the rest of the 
course on solving those specific problems with automation. You WILL be 
able to leave this session with the techniques you need to get started 
automating (and quite possibly with a working automation you developed 
in-class to solve one of your problems).  A $100.00 discount is 
available when registering for Auto 101 and Auto 201 together!
