   I have a 3 1/2 year old and he is rough on his toys. These planes are sturdy and they last the test of time. Not to mention, they are just fun to play with. My son carries them everywhere. You can’t go wrong with these cool little planes. What a great gift…the quality makes it look like you spent a lot of $$$.

   My son likes this set very much. They are a little bigger than I thought they would be(larger than matchbox size) and they are of a nice quality and detail and seem durable. I would recommend these planes to anyone who has a child interested in planes.

   I bought these for my co-worker and they loved it. The toys are pretty high quality, made with metal and some plastic parts.

   I’ve written code in a lot of different languages, but had never really touched Lua (the language used to write WoW addons).

   I picked up this book hoping that it would give me a good foundation on WoW addon creation, and it did. What I didn’t expect was just how much I’d be going back to the book over and over as an API reference.

   Although Blizzard keeps updating the WoW API, this books extensive reference section covers enough of the fundamentals, that I always start there.

   I can’t say that this book would be the best starting point for anyone who has never programmed before, but then again, creating addons for WoW isn’t really an endeavour for anyone who hasn’t programmed before.

   However, that’s what made this book so great for me. The Lua language and WoWs API are full of eccentricities and “gotchya”s. This book provided a really good “get up to speed quickly”, and functions as an ongoing reference.

   The authors also maintain a website that updates as the WoW API updates.

   I’ve been struggling to write an add-on for World of Warcraft, and have mostly been using the WoWWiki site with various other framework sites to learn. While those resources have been pretty helpful, this book has provided a clear, concise explanation of Lua and the WoW API that is unrivaled. In the week that I’ve owned it, I’ve been able to accomplish more with my own add-on than ever.

   Programming in WoW is extremely fun; takes me back to the old days of learning a new programming language for the first time. I have also missed Waite Group Press and glad to see they are making a comeback (still love their unmatched use of high-quality thin paper). This book starts off by giving the reader access to a custom WoW plugin called WoWLua, which is a LUA editor that works right inside WoW itself. There is also a larger addon environment/IDE for working with graphics, etc, right inside WoW. So, to answer the most common question, you don’t need to shut down WoW and restart it every time you make changes to your scripts! I am an instructor who is using this book for a LUA programming class and enjoying it very much.

   An ok book if you are into this sort of thing…

   The WoW game itself is pretty restricted it what it will allow you to do programming wise; consequently this book is pretty limited in what you can do with it…

   I enjoyed the information in the book; however, I didn’t find much practical use for it – other than intellectual…

   I enjoyed this book and it helped give me the basics to lua and wow programming. It takes you through several helpful addon examples that I now use after some minor customizations.

   This book isn’t as concise as I would have liked. It does have a significant amount of information, but as a player most of it was useless to me. The biggest problem is that much of it is out of date due to constant updates.

    It was a good reference until the last 3.1 update. I can still use it to check out which areas to go to at which level and look up little info like certain bosses and quests. They need to come out with a new one thanks to the huge changes this last update brought.

    Honestly, the information is well portrayed and organized however, most of it is beginner info and very basic. For more advanced information that is kept up to date I would suggest a dynamic guide like the one found on http://www.hiddenstuff.com/

    I didn’t find this book to be formatted in a useful way. There was no logic to the layout, and as a newbie to the game, I found it difficult to find the information I needed. I gave it two stars because I was at least able to use some of the maps.

    Not too impressed with this guide. It has some helpful hints in it. Although they are mainly targeted towards completely new players. For example how to decide on a race/class. I’m still on the look out for a good compainion with World of Warcraft for a semi-experienced player. I want more raid strategies and heroic instance tips. This isn’t for me.

    If you are expecting something like the previous guides YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. I got it with that in mind and was very sorry to have wasted the money. Don’t waste your time and money looking for anything useful in this “guide”.

    These books from Brady Games are usually ok, problem is with WoW you need to be careful because the game updates and changes so quickly, these guides are usually about 30-40% correct by the time you buy them.

    Currently I am in Iraq and ordered this book to learn about the WoW expansion since I am unable to play it yet. I would say I am very well informed and by having read this it will keep me from having to ask so many question of other players in game. There are a few typos but they are easy to overlook. The layout of the book is very pleasing to the eye and I really can’t think of anything they left out. I feel I am ready to dive in to Wrath with a very good idea of the changes.
