I'm writing another book. With pictures.

If you have ever wondered what it is like to write a program, then my book is for you. If you've got an XBOX 360 and an urge to create games of your own, then my book is for you. If you have a wobbly table with one leg shorter than another, then put a magazine or something underneath the short leg, then you will have a level surface to put my book on when you read it.

The aim of the book is to give you an insight into what proper programming is all about. It will also tell you how games are created and how programs make use of the XBOX 360. 

If you can't program, then don't worry, you are just the person who should read the book. To give you a taster of the content I'm going to put the first three chapters up on this site over the next few days. Then, I'll put selections from the other chapters and sample code up later as well.

I can confidently say that you will have never seen anything like it. With party games like Color Nerve, XBOX Controller Racing, a Mind Reading Act and "Things that go bump in the night" along with lots of other fun and frolics it is going to be a blast.

You can find the first sample chapter here. You can discuss the book here.
