Why are there no "maxscript in production' DVDs?

Hi

I am learning max script for some time now but the training material i found goes too much into details like changing the size of the spheres, growing spheres, controlling modifiers, and generally math stuff.

It would be great if someone recorded tutorial dvd with practical examples like adding a modifier stack with predefined mofifier parameters to objects in selection, or making a script that copies modifier stack from object and applies them to objects in selection, or adding spring controller with predefined parameters and wind control slider which affects every object's spring controller wind etc. i understand the tutorials available are recorded so that i have to use my brain and write this myself, but after watching the tutorials i still cant think of a way to write the things i need... seeing practical examples would boost the leraning process a lot.

PS: Has the scripting language changed in 3dmax 2013? i heard that a lot of maxscripts wont work in 3dmax 2013 and a lot of people had to rewrite their scripts.
