If you have said "yes" to any of the above, you have the right book in your hands. It is the first choice of both professionals and learners alike and is the most frequently recommended book on the Director User Internet forums for understanding the black art of OOPS and taking Lingo programming to areas the manuals never reach.

THis second edition covers two major advances in Director which have opened up new vistas to users. Behaviours are easy to conceptualize, and allow those who have very little programming knowledge to design an object-orientated programming (OOP) style. The new Application programming Interface (API) introduced along with a set of Net Xtras has transormed Director from aclosed application into an open system, allowing it to become the new killer app for thr Internet and the Web.

What readers said about the first edition...

· ...for my money it's the best Director book in the market.

· Lingo Sorcery is amazing. It's not a "how to" book per se, (though it has lots of how to in it) it's a "how to" book with a lot of accompanying thoughts on how most effectively to think about OOP and multimedia design from an organic point of view.

· In my opinion, Lingo Sorcery is easily the best info on OOP for Lingo.

· I am finally starting to get the hang of OOPing, but I heard Peter's book is awesome.

· See some crazy (but interesting) examples of ways to use OOP with Lingo, read Lingo Sorcery by Peter Small. It's amazing. It will really get your creative juices flowing.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Peter Small is also the author of the groundbreaking book Magical A-Life Avatars and the award winning cult CD-ROM How God Makes God.
