Hi Masood,

there exists always two kind of people: Graphic designers and scripters. Unfortunately most books and courses are written by scripters. So sometimes very dry stuff and hard to understand. I’m a graphic designer. So if I have problems, I have problems with JS and not the DOM ;-)

To get a good start, I can recommend Peter Kahrels guide: https://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596802530.do
Allthough this isn’t up to date, it covers all important parts.

Then Grant Gamble: https://www.amazon.de/InDesign-CS5-Automation-Using-JavaScript/dp/1460915380

And at least: The Javascript course at lynda.com from Simon Allardice

Notice one big thing:
You cannot read those books from start to finish. There will always be a situation, where your script goes wrong or you do not understand what the author is tryin’ to say you. This time, the indesignsecrets or adobe-scripting forum is your friend, where you can post your code and people will give you in short an answer.
