Thank you Mark.
A truly comprehensive book on MEL would be thousands of pages and require several authors to write.
Each of us who have written on the topic (David, David, and I) took different approaches to decide what to focus on, and the result is complementary books.
However, I'm sure you'll agree that their niches are clear: MEL Scripting for Maya Animators is an introduction to MEL that's oriented toward Maya-familiar users who are new to programming. The MEL Companion is a more advanced book that includes a lot of interesting applications that cover a range of material we didn't. Complete Maya Programming is aimed at more experienced programmers and people who wish to develop plug-ins.
If you have any specific feedback given the audience and intended focus of MEL Scripting for Maya Animators, please consider dropping by the new forums on the book's site at
