Hi...
I don't know much about lingo either... :)
>how do I start learning lingo scripting?
The fastest way to learn any kind of language in my experience is reading
somebody else's script going line by line... and whenever you get stuck with
some definition or function or concept, read a book...
But then sometimes that will cause some sort of blanks in between your
brain, so you might want to read a book from the beginning when you have
some more time...
>In Singapore where I live, a person is considered to be at intermediate
>level if he/she is able to use the library palette behaviors.
You are talking about those behaviors that comes with Director, right???
>But I think this is not how westerners view it.
So... what is the definition of the intermediate lingo programmer in
westerner's view??? I am kinda curious on this too... I am trying to get a
job after the long school years and there isn't many jobs for multimedia
developers... Maybe I am checking on the wrong tree...
>All of you on this list are already programmers at this level.
Nope... there are lots of people who doesn't belong to that level, including
me... :p Oh... don't worry... you will get there soon...
>Director 8.5 Shockwave Studio A Beginners' Guide by Warren Ockrassa (S$40).
Yeah... Way to go Warren... :)
I just checked Korean bookstore on the web and found your book too... It's
not translated in Korean yet though...
>I was not able to find Gary Rosenzweig's Advanced Lingo for Games.
You can always order books from Amazon or some places like that...
>Are these books considered a good introduction in the learning of lingo
>scripting?
I didn't personally read any of those books above... I have old Lingo
Workshop, Director 6 Demystified, and Director 8 Demystified... The last
time I was using Director, it was Director 6 and I was kinda off track while
there were Director 7 and 8... so I got Phil Gross & Jason Roberts' Director
8 Demystified last year to freshen up my memory and to keep up with Director
8... I will say this book is fairly good point to start if you know Director
and Lingo a little bit...
Just my 2 cents... :)
>Will buying a book and studying it be useful? Or do you have any other
>suggestions?
Sure... if it fits your learning style... :)
I'd go over those tutorials that comes with Director line by line... and
then I would go fetch those online tutorials and do as it says and so on...
and I think I would program much better than I do now... :(
HTH
