At my last job I was just being introduced to VDP when the place was bought and shut down. The guy I was learning from used a combination of AppleScript, BBEdit, Excel and FileMaker Pro to accomplish what needed to be done. It seemed to me he was self taught and just tried to find a way to make it work. I am now in the labeling industry so my need for vdp knowledge is not as great BUT we have 2 digital presses and have run a few variable jobs. No one else here has had any experience with vdp so I was thankful for my exposure.
My questions are:
1. What is the best type of scripting to master first (AppleScript, JavaScript, VBScript, SQL)?
2. Where do I find educational/training information that might be tailored more to our needs in the printing industry?
Any feedback would be appreciated. I have never had any formal training on any type of scripting and have worked mostly with already written AppleScripts that I modify to do what I need...
