CALL FOR HYPERTALK PROGRAMMERS!
Have you come up with clever HyperTalk programming techniques?
If so, The Waite Group wants you for our new book, Tricks of
the HyperTalk Masters. We are looking for useful scripts that
show how to extend and exploit HyperTalk.
Tricks of the HyperTalk Masters will bring together experienced
scriptors to share what they've learned with intermediate and
advanced programmers. This book in progress, along the lines of
our bestselling Tricks of the MS-DOS Masters and Tricks of the
UNIX Masters, will be published by Howard W. Sams & Company.
Chapters now in the works include: techniques for manipulating
buttons, fields and sound, working with long stacks, using Xcmds,
a benchmarking package that helps you make your stacks run faster
and better, and an on-line interface to CompuServe.
We are looking for tricks about:
o Importing and exporting application files
o Navigation -- linking and moving effectively between stacks
o Buttons and fields
o Graphics, animation, and attention-grabbing effects
o Interfacing with devices and other operating systems
o String handling
o Sound
o Creating XCMDS and XFCNS
Any other ideas are welcome. You can have a chance to be
a part of this important HyperTalk book. The Waite Group offers
author support, and the opportunity for future projects. Contact
