New HyperCard Manual

Those of you with dreams of becoming a HyperTalk programmer may be interested to know that Apple has recently published an official programming manual: "Apple HyperCard Script Language Guide: The HyperTalk Language." This is a 300 page hardback book with all the bare essentials; I find it to be a useful reference guide.

There are also about a dozen third party books out on HyperCard and HyperTalk including some devoted exclusively to XCMDs. The grand-daddy of them all is Danny Goodman's Complete HyperCard Handbook. The original edition was over 700 pages and he has recently added another 150 (and also sells the 150 pages as a separate supplement). I have some complaints about Goodman's massive tome, but it's still probably the best book out, especially for beginners.
