 Awsome and all that it is cracked up to be! August 21, 2008

If you want to write that killer add-on for World of Warcraft that nobody has quite gotten right yet, then this is the book to start with. I have been programming for many years but this book has a lot to offer to a kid just jumping in to the exciting world of code smithing or an old pro who just needs to know what Lua is all about. It is written by the guys that are doing it not just talking about it. Just the sections on the API reference is worth the price of admition. If you want to be WOWed by WoW, then cozy up to the glow of your nearest monitor and dig in.
A must for WoW addon developers August 20, 2008

Do not let the cover fool you. This book is HUGE with 1022 pages full of references, examples and more.
I am a beginning programmer in lua and WoW addons and I have other programming languages under my belt which helps me out. This book will explain it to the novice as well as provide an excellent resource for the advanced programmer.
You cannot beat the price for the quality you get. I have paid twice as much for books with 1/2 that information.
I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to make their own WoW addons.
EXCELLENT book!!! August 7, 2008

If you ever wanted to make your own add on's for the wonderful game of WoW then this book is for you! It tells you everything you need to know to program for WoW. Great book and great buy. Definitely one that will be read numerous times and used as a reference for my programming efforts for the game. (made an alarm clock to tell my kids to get off the game at a certain time) Great book!

Decent book, its not going to teach you to write an amazing addon such as Omen or Nurfed, but when looking at an addon's code you will have a good idea of what is happening.
Great for Addons and Lua/XML May 30, 2008

This book actually kept me up at night reading it. It was very informative, without being too bland. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn to program or is an expert programmer and doesn't want to dredge thru mpq's or multiple websites to create an addon; it's not only a good place to start but has everything you need to make your own WoW Addons afterwards.
