Reader Reviews:

Excellent info for those wanting to make shockwave movies (0/0 people found this helpful)

Although this book was written for Director 4, I'm currently using 6.0 and haven't found any instances where I've had to translate anything. The great thing about this book is the way the author describes how to do just about anything with a one-frame movie. This is perfect for those interested in putting shockwave movies on the web for it greatly cuts down on the memory used. I didn't know a thing about Director, much less Lingo, when I got this book. It's an excellent manual and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Great help to learn Lingo (0/0 people found this helpful)

This is the best book that I found on programming Lingo. It really helps to learn the basics and I can only recommend it.

For Director 4.04! Not up to date! (0/0 people found this helpful)

I was disappointed. There was no reference to the fact that this book was for Director 4.04. The latest revision of Director is 6.0. I had to translate every statement pertaining to the changes made in Director. A lot of Lingo concepts and syntax have either been added or changed since 4.04 was the standard.

Conquer your fear of Lingo programming forever! (0/0 people found this helpful)

With friendly prose and a classromm like atmosphere, this book quickly becomes a Lingo newbie's best friend. Starting from the very basics of programming and going up into the advanced topics at your own pace, Lingo is quickly and easily learnable and all scripts and examples are adaptable to real world situations. Using this book, I created a multimedia resume (complete with games), sent it around and got a job as a multimedia specialist. It was the best money I ever spent.

Nice, and fantastic for the beginner of Lingo. (0/0 people found this helpful)

After I open this book, I could easily follow up what the author emphasizes. This book proved the author has so much experience in teaching students about Lingo. Hence, you can feel comfortable when you leaf through pages all the way. I have read "Easy Lingo". Compared to the book "Easy Lingo", this book really teaches you with consistent and well prepared examples. Yes, this book also explains Lingo commands dealing databases and file I/O.
