Multimedia design with HyperCard

the long version

Using a hands-on approach coupled with step-by-step techniques, Stephen Wilson's indispensable guidebook will lead you through the basics of creating graphics and sound events on computers. The author uses his proven methods to introduce basic computer image, sound, and programming concepts, including screen coordinates, variables, loops, computer image generation, animation, synthesized and digitized sound, image transformation, and interactivity.per In addition, Wilson uses a jargon-free style to help you move from visually analyzing the desired outcomes of programs to structuring the programs and actually writing the scripts. And, although the book focuses specifically on HyperCard and its programming language HyperTalk, the generic graphics and programming techniques are taught in a manner that is generally applicable across many computer languages.
