- Geared at those Starting out and basic commands
I bought this book and two others to create a couple of interfaces for things I do often.
This book referenced many of the existing add-on applications, and some basic calls.

By its very nature, this sort of material is dated by the time it can go to press. That being said, the authors have done an exemplary job of providing material that covers lasting principles, and not specifics that will be immediately invalidated. In addition, supporting material on-line is fresh and regularly updated. A solid 5 stars!

Wasn't the best book, but for the price it didn't hurt. Best part about it is it had a list of addons for a few different categorys, and their descriptions, which was nice because he doesn't include any of the poor quality addons that litter addon sites. But for the not-so-lazy group, you can get all this information off addon sites quite easily.

play for a month and it will all come together, this is a waste of money
and if you cant install an addon, just ask someone in your guild or something..its the easiest thing to do.
if you dont know...
find the addon you want download it, and click open [not save] on the pop up window. when it opens a screen with the addon file[s] you need to open my computer, then open drive C, then ... Read More
