About this product: I got this book for my almost 5-year-old son about a month ago and he's been asking me to read it to him every night. He likes to look at the colorful pictures and ask questions about the characters. The story is a little overly simplified for the pre-K kids, so I usually go into a little more details to satisfy his curiosity. However, I like the style of the writing. Its use of rhythms and repetitive phrases makes the message easy for the kids to memorize. I'd like to get another bible with more story telling for him.

About this product: There is a lot of information on Director here, but rather less on Lingo than the title suggests. The CD accompanying the book has several 'bonus' chapters, a feature which I thoroughly dislike. Files for the various projects are also on the CD - a feature I do like rather than looking up a website.
The book is packed with Director tips and techniques and is as good as is available for Director. However, despite all this information, no coherent design philosophy is put forward in the book to help developers. This is a definite shortcoming. Set against that, the projects are interesting in the main, so you can extrapolate. The section on video control in Lingo is very interesting but too short to get into more meaty topics. Bizarrely the chapter on Director and the web is on the CD. The chapter on databases and lists is useful, but limited, and will appeal to programmers in particular. There is a chapter on animation using an 'arm' which is too long winded and really could do with a technical tweaking. The embeddability of 3D models is covered in a hit and miss fashion. For instance the chapter on Director 3D is on the CD.
I am reasonably positive about this book but I got the feeling that the author was upgrading an earlier version. From an educational perspective, the organisation of chapters and their goals is not ideal. However, there are really very few good texts on Macromedia products around. This is a very reasonable and sustained effort. At some stage it would be very useful if Macromedia actually listened to what their customers are looking for in instruction manuals. Until then, this type of book will dominate the market. Competent but not great.
About this product: The text is easy to understand and the projects are easy to do. I would recommend this book for anyone who is involved with elementary age children. It's a different approach to the typical "sunday school lesson"
