Lingo and Shockwave Sourcebook

I found this book well written and interesting. The authors introduce Lingo in an easy-to-understand and interesting way, although if you're a total novice in Lingo scripting, you might find the example projects used in this book a bit overwhelming. I have some Lingo programming experience prior to reading this book, so I was able to follow the examples pretty well, and I also learned some useful tips and tricks from this book. One downside about this book is that the book was published in 1996 or 1997, and was written probably for Director 5 originally. I encountered some problems when I tried to run some of the examples on Director 8. I wish the authors will update examples in this book.
