Love the videos, always so precise, and helpful. I love how they are not overdrawn out and each video focuses on 1 or two things vs multiple unrelated tips. Nice to learn one thing at a time in a short amount of time, and be able to go back and find the specific video if I need to.
What program are you using to record yourself while presenting your screen? I like how it's done in this video. Do you have a tutorial on creating presentation videos like this one?
So many options! And that's not all! You can just as easily run Swift directly in the Terminal, as well as Python, Perl, and Ruby. You can even run AppleScript or JavaScript using the "osascript" Terminal command. I'm surprised you didn't have the Script Editor display a dialog, but that is getting a bit deep, like setting up any and all of these "little programs" as standalone, clickable "apps," which is easy with the #! construct. Anything you can run in the Terminal you can also run in Automator or Shortcuts.
Hi, I recently discovered you and I already adore you, you made me very passionate about Apple Script, and thanks to you I learned a lot but not much, do you have any advice for Davinci? I would like to create Apple Scripts to automate some processes and control the DVR's video inspector, thanks
Not to be pedantic but Gary was running Javascript, not Java. They are two very different languages despite the similarity in name. Javascript is arguably easier to use than Java so you may want to give it a try (if that's what you meant).
@@tmhudg Sorry. I didn't want to seem rude. I just now saw your post. Yes. I was aware that the two languages were different. In a way, I misspoke to Gary and just shortened the name. Sorry for the confusion.
Not any more. It was in older versions of macOS, and upgrading won't uninstall it, so you may still have it. But buy a new Mac (since macOS Monterey) and you'll need to install it.

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary!👏🏻❤️
Great video. Another bonus of Shortcuts is that it can (in many cases) convert Automator Actions to Shortcuts.
Thanks very much, Gary, for this informative video! Some great options here.
Very useful. Thanks
Love your videos, do you have merch? I would love a black tee with your logo on the front left.
I have this: macmost.com/j-tshirts
Great topic
Excellent!

@@macmost Thank you! I wasn't finding anything on your TH-cam channel.
Can all this be done with the Mac and an iPhone used as a camera?
@@chezchezchezchez sure. I’ve got a video coming out soon showing doing it in Keynote as well.
Python has been on all Mac OS (and Mac OS X) systems since, I think, 2001. It's not always the most up to date version, however.
Not anymore. A few years ago they stopped including it, but you get it with Xcode.
Wow, that's a surprise. I remember when Python was required, if you deleted it, bad things happened.@@macmost
That’s a very nice intro.
Gary, are there any resident, desktop database possibilities? With ways to write script that includes SQL statements?
Sure. It would depend on what SQL database you have installed and what features of that software are available.
So many options! And that's not all!

Great content , I think this will help a lot of people , thankyou for sharing !Liked and Subscribed !
If you give your script the file extension ".command" and enable execute permissions, a double-click in the finder will execute it.

Sorry, I don't use it and don't even know if it is AppleScript-enabled.
I hope to find some guidance for reading in a data stream from the USB port(s) on my Macbook pro. Any hints where to start?
Sorry, no idea about that beyond just doing a Google search to see what comes up.
Great video
Very cool. I'm not very good at Java, though. Useful, as always.

cool video, thx! any chances to run python code in playgrounds? interface is so nice and user-friendly
Playgrounds is specifically "Swift Playgrounds."
Take a look at Visual Studio Code (Not Visual Studio). It's a free IDE that supports practically any language and is awesome for Python.
cool
Python is installed on macOS by default.
Not any more. It was in older versions of macOS, and upgrading won't uninstall it, so you may still have it. But buy a new Mac (since macOS Monterey) and you'll need to install it.
or Ruby.
But I program on c/c++
Then you probably don't need anything I walk about in this video.
With Xcode Commandline Tools, you can easily compile and run your little C/C++ program directly from the Terminal.
Nope sorry no interest but I do enjoy and learn from all your other videos especially numbers and pages
Thanks Gary as always
