Unfortunately, learning it as a first programming language wasn't among them as virtually every 'teach yourself Lingo/Director' book on the market was hopelessly mired in dot.syntax and, IIRC, so was Macromedia's own documentation.
Since we're all having fun repeating ourselves (hey -- if we really want concise language, we could just use pointers to our previous posts on the subject, no?) ;-) ... <-- not directed at anyone in particular... there were 24 cohorts in our first MS in instructional design and technology program; 2 dropped out, leaving 22; of those 22, I believe only TWO produced a final thesis-project using Director; the remainder used FrontPage (except for me, and I used Rev). Of the 2 Director users, at least 1 will never touch it again inasmuch as she didn't really use it, either, trading work for work as she did the writing/proof-reading for the sole Director enthusiast for his doing her development work. It kinda reminds me of comments I hear from persons learning English as a second language -- that it's extraordinarily difficult even for those individuals who are multi-lingual because English mixes so many different 'styles' and grammar/exceptions, ways of doing things, etc. Judy On Wed, 12 Jul 2006, Dan Shafer wrote: > Lingo had a lot of great features. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
