For AppleScript, I like Applescript in a Nutshell (a good resource and the only book that covers OS X scripting) and AppleScript for the Internet (lots of great example scripts). But you should start with the AppleScript guide provided by Apple. It is free and available either in HTML format or as a PDF.

I don't have a recomendation for ScriptMaker. Most any FM book will do as an introduction.

The popular recommendation around here for ScriptMaker scripting is "scriptology"... have a look in the "FileMaker Resources" forum.

Do you know where I can find the "AppleScript guide", I don't see that on Apple's web site. I'm looking for a good basic intro to AppleScript.

You will find the link to both the PDF and the HTML versions at

http://www.apple.com/applescript/resources/

I think that downloading the PDF to your hard drive works best.
