Summary: Amazingly detailed
... Bedford's book offers everything and anything that one could consider useful to know about building with LEGO. I love the way he describes how to design things using grids and how to organize large collections of LEGO bricks. He's even designed a game in LEGO that others can play! I highly recommend this book to all ages of LEGO builders.

Summary: The best LEGO guide available.
... THE UNOFFICIAL LEGO BUILDER'S GUIDE is the best "Overview" of the LEGO building system available hands down. The book has been written for beginners as well as more advanced builders. It's a great reference guide with tips, techniques and definitions for users of all ages. Anyone can buy and build a LEGO "set", but this book will give you the tools needed to build your own creations. Once those "sets" are in a hundred pieces and you want to try your hand at your own creation, this is the guide you will reach for to

Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-14 Summary: Java Brains - Its a good read for the NXT geek ... I bought this book specifically to get some information on the NXT and some building ideas. The book has easily met my expectations in these areas. There are some great ideas for building robots and a bunch of good info about building techniques and the effective use of sensors. I don't plan on programming in Java (I prefer C), however the ideas and code in the book are easily transferable to any programming language. There are detailed building instructions and excellent examples that I haven't found in any other ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-28 Summary: Excellent Book ... Despite the nasty reviews surrounding this book, I strongly dis-agree. I thought this book was extremely helpful. I am a java programmer but my work is in the data integration area. This book really helped me to step out of the box and start programming movement between motors,sensors,etc. I enjoy all of Brian's writings, blogs, books, etc. You won't find a better book about programming NXT bricks with Java. And who expects a 12 year old to pick up this book and understand? It's a book most suitable for experienced ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-07-17 Summary: Maximum Lego NXT: Building Robots with Java Brains ... If you are one of those Java guys, hands on, and a mechanical control lover, this is a book you don't want to miss. From programming point of view, some very useful topics are Bluetooth setup (both Window and Linux), Serial Communication setup, Vision detection, and Voice Control. You will be amazed of how you can realize those technologies into controlling an NXT. There are still many other interesting subjects from machanical/control point of view. This includes using GPS receiver(where you can learn NMEA Data format). ...more
[4] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-24 Summary: A Great Start ... Although the book sounds otherwise, it is in fact a good start for advanced programmers. A lot of the code does not work right out of the box, but provides a good starting point for advanced programmers to build on. If you are a beginning java programmer, this book probably is not for you because it deals with concepts that are incomplete as described in the book, but an intermediate-to-advanced programmer can take these concepts and modify them as need be and quickly make easy projects more advanced. Overall, I think ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2007-02-06 Summary: Great series of books ... My boys love this series of books. They'll start with legos next year but they already get excited about them due to these books.
