Lingo in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell
(OReilly)) by Bruce Epstein
Lingo In A Nutshell
Once again, OReilly scores big with a comprehensive treatment of a
programming language that doesnt spend much time teaching the
fundamentals. Lingo in a Nutshell sets a benchmark for Lingo
documentation that no other book or online resource meets. Lingo in a
Nutshell has to do with behind-the-scenes aspects of Lingo, including file
management, data structures, loops, conditionals, and event handlers.
Simply put, this book treats Lingo as a programming language, rather th an
merely as a piece of Macromedia Director. The coverage youll find in
Lingo in a Nutshell backs up the more obviously practical material found in
this books companion volume, Director in a Nutshell. This book also
features an excellent chapter called How Lingo Thinks, which explains
how the various pieces of a Lingo-controlled presentation fit together.
Like most Nutshell books, Lingo in a Nutshell includes a very good
language reference in addition to its tutorial and explanatory materials.
Listing Lingos enumerated values, keywords, and commands in full--
including some otherwise undocumented ones--this reference makes it
easy to locate the information you need as you write programs. The only
minor drawback of this book is that it doesnt cover the changes made to
Lingo in the newly released Director 7. --David Wall
This is a wonderful book, but don't make the samae mistake I did. I didn't
look close enough, and it is OUTDATED. It is for Director 6. The most
recent version is 8.5...and they are totally different.
