Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Director, a programming and animation development environment sold by Macromedia, started out as something relatively easy to learn, but over time it has evolved into quite a mature product-complete with the kinds of capabilities (and problems) that usually are found in much more sophisticated (and much harder to learn) programmers' tools. Read the first page

Great Start 26 Jun 2002
By Alan Noon - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I'm just getting into the world of Director, and this book has been my guide. It is written in an entertaining manner, (thankfully not overly cute,) and is making my learning experience an enjoyable one so far. Each lesson is laid out in an easy to read manner and features quick quizzes through out the text, designed to make sure that the important concepts are driven home. I recommend it for other readers looking to begin their Director education!

Great Resource for Beginning Lingo Programmer 22 Feb 2003
By Tony - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The real power of Director is in Lingo, Director's programming language. I have more than 10 books covering Macromedia Director; most are designed for the beginner and intermediate level user. Warren's book is by far the best introduction to programming in Director.

Excellent Instructor's Text 9 May 2002
By Michael Heroux - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am an instructor at a small college in Colorado and find Mr. Ockrassa's text a pleasant resource for my students and myself. I have been working with Director for 5 years and have learned a great deal from his book. He has great examples of how to write effective and efficient code. This is the best example of a technical text I have ever worked with. We can only hope that he writes an intermediate and advanced text as well.
