5.0 out of 5 stars Out of the box, 14 Jun 2009
I have real problem trying to review Coding4Fun. I've tried many times and always had problems with what to write. Usually, when I have a book about a single technology or subject it's quite easy because all of them follow, less or more, the same pattern. This book is not typical however. Just imagine you have five hundred pages that are covering not one but few technologies and environments, starting from games, through web services up to hardware. Imagine a single book you will learn from how to write a game, work with YouTube videos or create an interactive whiteboard. This is what Coding4Fun is about. I would say that Coding4Fun is the book for either young or bored of life developers. The first will find a lot of inspiration while the latter something to break the everyday monotony. Both of them, and not only them, can get a lot of joy doing projects this book contains. Coding is fun.
