Session Times
Monday-Thursday, the sessions begin at 8:30 am and end at 4:00 pm. On Friday, we begin early at 8:00 to allow more coverage of AppleScript Studio before the regular session ends at 4:00 pm. Each day is followed by an optional bonus session from 4:15-5:00 pm.
Location
The sessions will be held at the Dolphin Beach Resort directly on the Gulf Coast near the Tampa/St. Petersburg area at 4900 Gulf Blvd, St. Pete Beach, FL 33706. After registering for the sessions, attendees will be given a discount code and phone number to make reservations at a conference rate of $99/night for a standard room, $129/night for poolside, and $159/night for Gulf-front. Hotel space at the discounted rates may be limited. It is difficult to find a more beautiful beach on the Gulf Coast as this photo illustrates.
Although free parking is available for hotel guests with a vehicle, the hotel is very convenient to several restaurants and is directly across the street from a large Publix grocery store. Public transportation is available via the Suncoast Beach Trolley which has a stop directly in front of the hotel, and runs as far north Clearwater and south to beautiful Pass-A-Grille. The trolley also offers connecting service to downtown St. Petersburg.
Getting To The Conference
A variety of ground transportation options are available from Tampa International Airport (TPA). The Super Shuttle provides shared van service to the conference hotel starting at $22. The St. Petersburg - Clearwater International Airport (PIE) is also nearby.

I’m only interested in a couple of applications. Why should I attend other sessions?
One of the great virtues of AppleScript is a consistent implementation in multiple applications. As we explore many programs in depth, you will learn more about techniques that are helpful with AppleScript in general.
I’ve never worked with AppleScript or any type of programming. Will your introductory day really be enough to get me started?
A lot can be covered in a day. Just listen to a quote of one of the attendee’s of Ray’s half-day seminars. “I’m amazed by how many AppleScript fundamentals Ray Robertson is able to convey in a short time. With just a few exercises, he exposes beginners to both powerful techniques and how to overcome the initial roadblocks that most new users confront.” And Ray will be the first to tell you that Shane Stanley’s experience as an AppleScript instructor in Australia adds much more to the class. Even the most experienced of scripters report learning new functionalities and strategies the first day.
Can I bring my laptop?
Sure. While this is not a hands-on course, we encourage everyone to bring a laptop and follow along with the class as they want. Laptops will also help with examining the course CD immediately, and working on solutions inspired during the sessions.
Will you be able to answer all of my questions about my scripting needs?
Shane and Ray are both full-time developers, not full-time trainers. As such, they are able to answer most questions, and in many cases suggest a faster route to workflow solutions. If they can’t answer a question, other scripters and automation experts in attendance may help. That’s just one of the great virtues of having experienced scripters (and Mac users) gathered together.
