What youll learn
Who is this book for?This book is for people new to programming (10 years old and up) or for experienced programmers new to the NXT-G programming language. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Strictly for young beginnersI have a lot of respect for the author of this book and his work for the NXT community. I have been a programmer before, from assembler coding to high-level pseudo-code like languages. So, when I first saw the NXT-G environment, I thought "gee this is sooo simple, I can do this very easily". However much to my chagrin, my NGT-G programs are terrible. They do not work, I cannot tell why (that is: I cannot diagnose and debug the programs I write). I can follow someone else's programs ... Read More Rating: - Not usefulI was hoping to learn more about NXT-G. I didn't. There is nothing in this book that is not in the online help files that come with the software. There are a number of errors. The X/Y coordinate system on page 188 in wrong, half of the time in the discussion of the logic block he calls it the compare block. It expected much more from this book. In the discussion of the logic block he shows how to evaluate 2 things. That is very simple and covered in the on-line notes. He doesn't explain how to compare ... Read More Rating:  - Great resource for NXT-G programmingThis book covers a lot of ground on NXT-G programming and is a must have resource for anyone serious about programming in NXT-G as the on line help included with the NXT set is not adequate. As a professional programmer and a robotics hobbyist, I would recommend that anyone wanting to bring out the full potential of their NXT creations move to a text based language like Robot-C instead. While NXT-G is good for simple programs, it is just to difficult to create anything of any complexity as the graphical ... Read More Rating: - Great Book!We bought this book for our nine year old son who had recently received the Mindstorms NXT for Christmas. He could not put the book down - read it from cover to cover and thinks it is a great book. Highly recommend. Rating: - Lego Mindstorms NXT_G Programming GuideWhen it comes to wanting to do Lego Mindstorm NXT-G, this is the first book you should get. The book shows the reader what different blocks are and how they work. The book also reads in terms that middle school students can understand and follow. Programming is the most difficult item that you have to do with a roboit. This book shows is a great resource for people that are in to lego roboits.
