Product Description

Product Description
Developed by Macromedia's staff and user-tested in Macromedia's Authorized Training Centers, this large-format book includes the complete curricula from the Training Centers' 5-day hands-on courses for both Director and Lingo, normally costing $1200-$1400 each. Master teachers present lessons in manageable step-by-step work sessions, enabling users to work through the course at their own pace. Director 6 and Lingo Authorized now covers both Director 6 and Lingo, replacing two separate previous editions (Director Multimedia Studio Authorized and Lingo for Director 5 Authorized). This new, expanded edition--still only $44.95--is now appropriate for new, intermediate, and advanced intermediate Director users. After mastering the basics of Director, users move on to complete increasingly more advanced tasks, up to and including scripting with Lingo.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good tutorials but poor quality control, 29 Sep 1998
By A Customer
I found Director 6 and Lingo Authorized to be useful for the Director beginner with well thought out tutorials and a building block process that allows you to gain a gradual understanding of the application. However, I struggled in each chapter with technical problems. Every chapter had at least one or more mistakes that you as the inexperienced user had to troubleshoot. It became a frustrating process knowing that I would run in to a problem that wasn't created by me. I spent at least a quarter of my learning time troubleshooting what turned out to be simple typos in the book. Additionally, not all aspects worked, at least not on a Win 98 platform. Anything that was video oriented didn't play and some of the completed lessons didn't work properly either. Some contained script errors and others just didn't work. I have a hard time recommending this book because of those problems even though I think the material is good. If Macromedia improved the quality, I would highly recommend it. Otherwise, I wouldn't get it unless you have a great deal of patience.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Director Neophytes, 10 May 1998
By A Customer
If you are completely new to Director (any version) like I was, you will get a lot of value from this book by the people who wrote the software.

The book assumes no prior knowledge of Director and introduces the self-paced student to most of Director's elements. I have completed the first book in this 2-book set (2 complete books in one binding) and am in the middle of Lesson 4 of the Lingo book.

I purchased the book before getting my own copy of Windows Director 6 and found the Demo version invaluable to start learning Director. The limitations of the save-restricted version were minor and I fully recommend this book for new users.

Director users that have experience with a prior version or alternate platform will find this book too basic. Both books are NOT exhaustive references on every Director feature and Lingo command. While "Director 6 AUTHORIZED" is a great introduction, most Director developers will want to add other Director books to their shelves.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excelent book that is very worth while., 7 Nov 1997
By A Customer
Diretor 6 Authorized is an excelent book to learn Director. The lessons are consise and yet thorough. The teaching method used, "learning by doing", is the only real way to learn Director. This book facilitates this learning in an excellent way.

However, if you don't have your own copy of Director 6, the limited version that you get on the CD that comes with the book, is highly insuficient. As I haven't yet bought my own version of Director 6, I can't complete certain lessons because of missing elements in the CD's version. For example,the Director 6 that comes with the book,has no behavior inspectors. This realy limits you from realy getting to know Director 6 and it's functionality. I had to find someone else with Director 6 and use their computer.

Other than this, I highly recomend this book for those who are self-learners, and for those who may be teaching a class about Director or multimedia in general.
