5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate programming book for NXT-G programming language, 2 Oct 2007
By Bad_Wolf (European Community) - See all my reviews
Hi,

I received this book almost 2 months ago from now. I learned about this book when I was reading the "Mayan Adventure" of the same author Jim Kelly.

Both books are very interesting and excellent written. However after reading the Mayan Adventure, I had the feeling I was missing something about the NXT-G programming language. I need a more indept review of all the NXT-G programming objects than described in the Mayan Adventure.

I know you have the online reference, but it is not the same. So I bought NXT-G book and I liked it from the very beginning.

If you like me to build your own creations (mechanically and program) this book is definatelly a must have. The explanations are very detailled and clear. Also it starts at beginner level. So everyone can benefit from it.

The only very little comment I have to make is that some third party sensors (Compass Sensor - Accelleration sensor - color sensor) where not present in this book. I really regret that very much. However I can understand the reasons why those sensors are not included. But when you learn to master the basic in and outs of the NXT-G programming language, it is not that difficult for you to learn those other sensors as well.

When you are using Mindstorms NXT-G programming language, don't hesitate and buy this book. It is a great reference and lay a very good foundation to make rock solid robotics programs.

And when you have children or like exploring the unknown, I also advise you "The Mayan Adventure" which is about exploring a Mayan Tomb.

Both books going hand in hand with each other. It will give you a funny way to learn about Robotics and how to solve daily life problems.

Friendly greetings,

Bad_Wolf
