how best to use this book

To get the most out of this book, you should work through the step-by-step instructions for building the example programs on your computer as you are reading. Programming is a learn-by-doing activity, and you’ll learn a lot more by writing and experimenting with the programs than you will by just reading about them.

The programs and accompanying discussions will make the most sense if you read the chapters in order. Several of the example programs are introduced in the early chapters and then expanded in the later chapters as you learn more about the NXT-G language. By the time you get to the end of the book, you’ll have the knowledge and skills you need to be an expert NXT-G programmer.
