A Superb Reference on Director

What makes this the best reference book on Director available? Is it possiblethat everything you wanted to know about Director is in it? Look atchapter 1, How Director Works. Learn alternative ways to approach tasks in Director. Although a reference book, you will want to read every page afraid that a missed page could cost you days work. Open this book to any page from beginning to end and you will find something of true value. Bruce has assembled a HUGE amount of information for anyone using Director. Thankfully, the index is well constructed. Don't let the relatively low number of reviews fool you, if you want to get serious with Director you NEED this book. I suspect that all serious users already have it. However, Bruce was the first to say in the Preface that this is NOT a step-by-step instructional guide (my choice would be Director 7 and Lingo Bible for that). Bruce also posts additional information on his WEB site. A fantastic value - get this book and watch your Director productivity skyrocket!

Director in a Nutshell & Lingo in a Nutshell shine!

Director in a Nutshell and Lingo in a Nutshell are the best books around on Director. Period. No nonsense, great examples and a fantastic resource for every Director user - if you use the books as the author wants them to be used. They really ARE Desktop Quick References, not tutorials. For people that love never ending step-by-step exercises - look elsewhere. For people that need the best printed problem-solving help around on D7 - this is it.

'A MUST HAVE' for the serious Director user

Director in a Nutshell and Lingo in a Nutshell are the Director books developers have been waiting for. They are simply packed with valuable practical information for all Director users, no matter what your background and previous experience. The scope and in-depth treatment of the subject is unique and the time you spend reading these comprehensive books is bound to save you from countless frustrations and provide you with new insight. While these books are valuable at any level, beginners are probably better served by less detailed introductions rather than the encyclopedic knowledge presented here. Once you have gotten past the basics, these books are really a treasure! Written by an expert lingo guru who leaves no stone unturned, these books by Bruce are 'A Must Have' for the serious Director User.Thanks Bruce! geo@lingoman.dk
