Great book that makes Director manageable for beginners!

I've been trying to learn Director for the past 3 years. Finding a class that is not an intensive course is impossible in my area. This book presents the information in small, manageable bites. I recommend this book for anyone that wants to learn Director from the basics. Like the other "Training from the Source" books by Macromedia, this book is broken into 1 hour lessons that allow you to absorb the information at your pace.I highly recommend it.

Great starter book

After working through Director's tutorial and paying for online training, this book is filling in the gaps and preparing me for more advanced work. Because the book not only tells you what to do, it explains clearly why you are doing it, the book is far superior to the paid online training. With my background, I jumped in about halfway and only use beginning chapters as a reference. The only way to beat this for value is doing the free training on the web to get started with Director. Not being a programming guru, I find this book extremely helpful. It fits my learning style perfectly.

Great beginner book

The book is an excellent walkthrough for beginners - the fact that they took into account a lot of common mistakes and diagrams to show you EXACTLY what they mean shows that a lot of research went into it to keep you from being stuck. This saves you a lot of time and it's not a pain like some books which skip some steps or contain ambiguous words that leave you frustratingly stuck. Sure, it takes up a lot of space but I rather a heavy book than a thin one that wastes my time. Because of this, I found that I could also breeze through some chapters just by reading - handy for when you can't be at a PC and want to do some background reading.Another plus point: I found the approximate time required to complete each chapter useful. I am always on track and feel sooo happy when I beat the clock! haha! If you're the kind who learns through tutorials as well, this is it.On the downside: I found the book a bit too easy. I didn't get to learn too many functions but they sure build you a solid foundation and hammer in good habits. Well, as I said, it's great for beginners but maybe for intermediate users, you'd need something deeper.Before this book, I was Lingo-phobic. Now I have enough confidence to pick up heavier stuff.

This Book Is A Great Starter!!!

I am 15 years old, and im new to director 8. I'm thought it would be a good program to learn since macromedia seems to be the future software. This is my first director 8 book that I've read and it's very helpful. Most everything I've wanted to know I've found in this book. I would recommend this book to any beginers, It's a very good book!

Works for me

I am new to Director as an application. I found the Lessons and explanations most instructive. This program has intimidated me for years. I was put in a position where I had to learn it begrudgingly. This book made it easy and more like a hill rather than a mountain for a learning curve. I recommend it for newbies.
