The book includes complete coverage of the newest version of Director, from advanced issues such as Lingo scripting and multi-user applications on how to employ the 3D API.

Excellent but misleading title February 20, 2008
This is a great general resource for learning to use and program Director MX. I beleive the title is misleading, however, because it is not the only book you will ever need and because it is not just about using Director MX, it is about programming with Lingo as well.
Two things I like about this book are the coverage of Multiuser programming and networking. One thing I did not like that much was the slim coverage of 3D programming; nevertheless, for a general Director book, it is great and pretty easy to understand and follow.
Greet book - the only director book I need July 22, 2007
The book covers all the software functions and almost all the lingo functions exists.
The code sources are good and clear, and the language the book written is clear to read and understand for none English native.
Thanks for this book!
I hope adobe will not kill director...
 Great Book July 16, 2007
This is a great book on your way to understanding Director. Its a well designed and not too hard to follow book.
Great Director MX Book! March 15, 2006
This is a great reference book - the author says it is not really meant to be read all the way through and it is described as not for beginners, but I think any Director user except perhaps the most advanced could benefit from this book either as a reference or complete read or both. I especially like all of the side notes scattered throughout the book, plus the troubleshooting and Did You Know? sections at the end of each chapter. His descriptions of some components of Lingo were the first I've read that I really understood. He also includes 7 bonus chapters and a Lingo reference on the CD! This book is packed with info, and even though it is now one version of Director behind the current one, I still recommend having it on your reference shelf. If you really use Director for either work or play, you won't regret it!
Listen to me..... its the words of wisdom April 24, 2005

I really don't have to get into detail. This is the book you want to have when you need something to go back on and read. This is the 1st book that helped me the most i only used 4 books but this one was the one that made me go back and read up again and me as a person that hates to read, I learn a ton of stuff from this very book. I'm telling you right now no one here can tell you all the details this one book has but if you pick it up and read it you will see for your self that this book is worth more then it cost. He even has a mixure of games inside the cd its crazy. This book chills in my back pack when i need some lingo codes and which im back in director for the 3d field im just useing it to bring back the old codes which this book holds. All i can tell you is that this is a great book for director and perhaps one of the best i have encounter you won't regrate it trust me on that.
