I recommend this book to anyone who wants to do some serious programming with the Lego Mindstorms kit. The four authors are experts in different areas like LegOS, NQC, pbForth, and even on making your own sensors for the robot.The illustrations are very well done and make building the robots a simple task. The programming examples are very clear, and easy to follow, yet still fun to do. I particularly like the variety of the book. There are many projects, and they illustrate different features of the robots and the different programming envorinments. On the desktop side, it has examples on getting the system working on several platforms, like Linux, or Microsoft Windows.This is most certainly the best advanced Lego Mindstorms book you'll find, and at a great price, too.
