HyperProgramming goes beyond ordinary HyperCard applications. It is a powerful method of programming supported by HyperTalk-like languages where there is equality between programmer and user, and where objects are the user interface. HyperProgramming languages include all the features of conventional languages, but also support novel features aimed at building interactive applications quickly and simply.
This definitive book on HyperProgramming provides you with: The skills to create exciting tools ranging from simple stacks that make labels to a sophisticated hypertext authoring system. A disk containing the projects and examples discussed throughout the book. By working through examples you will be able to see how the stacks work and use the scripts and objects from the examples to build your own interactive applications. Projects, many with fully worked solutions, including: Hypertext Framework, Anti-virus Precautions, Music Machine, Turtle Graphics, Business Graphics, Finding Things, Bookmark Monitoring, School Projects, Hypertext Browser, Sharing Stacks Using Liveware, Bibliographic Database, Animation Techniques, HyperTalk Objects, Collecting Things, Spreadsheet Project, Cannon Game.
HyperProgramming will help anyone programming in HyperCard to develop their programming skills. It is appropriate for students using HyperCard, and will also appeal to HyperCard programmers and professional HyperCard designers and developers looking for fresh inspiration and new ideas.
