i would definitely recommend's irv's "ebook", and i think there are good
chapters in bruce epstein's and gary rosenzweig's books.
peter small's lingo sorcery is unique, that's for sure. for me, it was
very helpful in making the conceptual leaps required to move from
procedural to object oriented thinking. oop seems to be the kind of
thinking that turns on like a light switch. once that happened, i moved
on to other sources about ways of using it in director. but for first
making that leap, peter's book is weird enough that it can be helpful
along those lines...
