Har! My publisher sent me the first copies of my new German NXT book right from the oven! So " Roboterwesen " is available now, with 350 pages and completely in color. It's mainly meant for NXT beginners and for teachers looking for some book for their NXT classroom lectures. I decided to write such a one in German, as there are almost no NXT beginners books for youngsters in Germany in their native language.

Amazon is offering the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 Discovery Book at almost 50% discount . I don't know for how long it will be up for this price, so get a copy while you can. If your first language is German, you might want to wait a little while. The German edition of the book " LEGO Roboter" is coming out in June.

After having blogged on THE NXT STEP's German sister blog Die NXTe Ebene about David Perdue's list of NXT book s, I was told by a German publisher that, finally, the first NXT book written in German has been published (already three months ago): "Roboter programmieren mit NXC für LEGO® MINDSTORMS NXT" (which means Programming robots with NXC ) by Daniel Braun. It's a book for beginners on the NXT and on programming it with NXC; for further information, see my according post in Die NXTe Ebene . Soon, I will receive a copy and subsequently will look into it in detail. I'm happy to see the first NXT book appearing also in German and am hoping for other ones in the future.
