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.

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.

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.

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...

Going to the North Cascades (America’s Alps)? There are hundreds of miles of trails to choose from, and everyone has limited time to spend hiking. The authors take an opinionated approach about which hikes are the best – because they have the best views, get you up and out of the forest, and otherwise have a lot to offer. Most of the hikes are in Washington, in and around North Cascades National Park, but a few are in Canada.

I didn’t know this book existed when I went up to the area, and I was surprised at how useful it was. I had a week to go hiking, and all of the hikes that I did from the book were spectacular. The authors make a great balance of telling you what to expect without giving the whole hike away. The book has amazing color photos for each hike, and simple maps, elevation gains, topo map suggestions, etc. Each hike review is separated into opinion and fact, which makes for easy reading.

I wish the authors could write books like this for all the major hiking areas of the country – it would have saved me a lot of not-so-memorable hikes. I look forward to their upcoming Utah hiking book. One thing to note is that most of the hikes are fairly serious endeavors, even the day hikes. If you also enjoy doing easier hikes, you will have to purchase another guidebook, or rely on park information.

The book is with beautiful color photos for each hike which nicely complements with short, energetic, passionate, funny, useful and opinionated descriptions. Vital info for each hike is neatly organized and there is a good description of getting to trail head although there are no GPS coordinates or elevation profile graphs. Maps for hikes are very basic and you WILL need Green Trail maps along with this book (each hike description contains Green Trail map# that you will need). The binding is fragile and pages are too glossy/slippery for a hiking book so I don't think it can take rough use on trail. The book has an "hike at glance" table which can help you to choose an hike for your preferred length and elevation gain however book is missing a central detail list of content so to actually locate an hike you will need to go to other page. One other thing missing is table for best hikes to do for a given month. For Cascades this is very important and should be included in "at glance" table hopefully in next edition.

If you really want to get your money's worth, I suggest you buy or borrow from Library another book Don't Waste Your Time in the North Cascades: An Opinionated Hiking Guide to Help You Get the Most from This Magnificent Wilderness. Both of these book are written by same authors, published by same publishers and have almost exact same content (and I mean word-by-word same) for common hikes between two books with exception that the later one contains all hikes organized by 4 ratings (Premier, Outstanding, Worthwile, Don't do) and also the later doesn't have color photos. This is extremely useful for hikers like me because I don't get to go to Cascades very often and want to make best use of my time by picking the best possible hikes. So having this ratings from author I don't have to ask other less experienced hikers about what I should be choosing when choice is so vast.

So for me, the best thing is combination of this WOW book and a list of hikes sorted by rating from "Don't waste your time..." book (pg 5-9). I really hope author includes this ratings in next edition of WOW book in "at glance" table.

Having said all that, I believe this is probably the one book you should buy if you are going to buy one for Cascades. And if you are going to do only two hikes in Cascades it should be Skyline Divide and Ptarmigan Ridge!

I recently picked up this book - Wow guide - North Cascades.

In addition to exploring the outdoors I seem to collect guide books and I have to say "Thanks! to the authors. The attention to detail and the writing from an actual experience of personally being there comes through.

This book just happens to cover the area I call my backyard. Having been on most of these trails, I can tell you that little advice like... "at 2.5 mi you might notice a faint trail beginning to countour right (northeast). Ignore it. It goes to....." really makes a difference.

I have been in the outdoor industry for most of my life, either in the field or behind the scenes helping others get out there. So I have an appreciation for accurate and grounded information.
