I did find it well written, and organized, and had I seen this a year ago it would have been ideal. Also two of the links I tried had already either changed or gone dark, so my take is the printed reference does have a time-line. 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. I could have used this info a year ago when I started, but I had already pass beyond this info with stuff from some of the sites listed here.
A solid 5 stars. In addition, supporting material on-line is fresh and regularly updated. 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.
But for the not-so-lazy group, you can get all this information off addon sites quite easily. 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.
when they are are highlighted, drag them into the addons folder.when you launch WoW make sure the addon is checked in the addons list [where your character selection screen is] from there you can enable/disable an addon if you decide you dont like it.if you have lots of extra $$ then go for it, i'd just learn from playing your should see an 'add ons' folder in the interface folder, simply go to the window with the addon files, hold down Ctrl [control] and left click each of the files in the folder. The book's good at what it is tryign to do, but that thing is useless.play for a month and it will all come together, this is a waste of moneyand 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 open program files, then open 'Wolrd of Warcraft' files, then open the interface folder.
Pretty simple guide really, just needs one line of text:Roll a Warlockam i rite.
