About this title

From Library Journal:

There are two main ways to create real multimedia for the Internet. One is to use Java and the other is to use Director. Director is easy, but it has a programming language called Lingo that is not a snap. Schmitt's book makes learning Director and Lingo easier. While this book is aimed at creators of webbed multimedia it also is a great introduction to Director and Lingo for those using them to write CD-ROMs. Very good book for both beginners and advanced designers.
