I've been working with David Whale ( blog.whaleygeek.co.uk ) since February writing a book called "Adventures in Minecraft" and today it started arriving through people's doors!It's a book written especially for 11-15 year old's and its a fun way to not only get into programming using Python but also learn how to do amazing things with Minecraft.All the adventures, projects and programs in the book work with Minecraft on the PC and Apple Mac as well as Minecraft: Pi Edition on the Raspberry Pi I have created a small mini site , including a forum for the readers of the book to come together get support, share ideas and I personally can't wait to see the projects you create.Its available from Wiley , Amazon ( UK US ) and loads of other book stockists.Myself and David are really proud of what we have created and think it really is a great way to get into creating your own Minecraft mods, tools and games.Ria at SilkStream who got a copy of the book early has written up a review
