 Warcraft addon begginer October 8, 2008
I am new to writing addons, some programming experience, and this book was very helpful in getting an understanding of the system. It has helped me write my first simple addon. More to come with experience.

This book was definitely worth the money. While it did not have me creating extreme UI modifications right away, it did provide the stepping stone i needed to go on and eventually learn to write bigger and better addons. The book give very useful information on Lua in general and then goes in depth to explain exactly how to program in World of Warcraft.
I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn to create addons. While it won't boost you to a master of creating addons, it will give you that stepping stone that has seemed to be missing since WoW's release. The API reference also helps anyone interested in writing addons, whether they be novice or master.

this book is for those who are not wow savvy. If you are you are probably wasting your time. My son was not as impressed with this book as other books he has received.
 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.

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.
