Second Life Official Guide: quick preview

Friday I received my copy of the first book about Second Life that I know of Second Life The Official Guide.

Although I will try to present an overview of my thoughts about the book in a later post, here are some of the first things that I noticed:

  • nice colorful layout, very much aligned with the atmosphere of Second Life
  • describing things you easily forget or miss when entering Second Life (like the “library” in your inventory)
  • a lot of SL- residents get to speak
  • nice history of Second Life and background on what it all could mean for the future
  • basics of scripting and building
  • CD enclosed packed with goodies!

Have to go now…back to my book.
