Book Reviews of Hacking World of Warcraft (ExtremeTech)
Book Review: Great Book to learn of about WoW mods
Summary: 5 Stars
I myself had been using mods for some time, but Dan explained a lot I never knew, and right from the beginning he quoted Blizzards opinion on using mods in World of Warcraft.I recommend this book to anyone at any stage of using mods.
And if you want to make your own mods to use in WoW, there is many chapters that cover that.....along with making two of your own mods.
So, not only has he and his co-author made some wonderful mods for a great game, but they have also made a fine book together!
Book Review: Hackers anonymous
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good book if you are into writing programs. There are some useful websites in this book and they tell Wow gamers places the enhance there online gaming. If you want to make up your own gaming with a UI, or another helping add-on then this is the book for you. It shows you how to do it and where to put it. Since I am not a geek, this helped me only to find the addon sites from other folks which helped me greatly.Book Review: Great for finding Addons
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book to not be what I had thought. I can do a search for WOW addons and find them all over the internet. I was hoping that this would be "Hacking" World of warcraft. Do not buy this book if you want to learn how to write "Hacks". Do a google search for WOW addons and you can save yourself the $20 something for the book. Sorry authors, but not exactly what I wanted. This goes in my garage sale pile.Book Review: Example Addons *Do* Work
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a good overall view of some of the basic addons for those of us who sit in front of the computer enough playing Wow and don't want to sit in front of the computer reading about addons. (:
I did have a problem getting the first addon to work; then I realized from reading this site that I had to enable script errors -- the message pops up as a script error.
Book Review: Good guide for the lazy!
Summary: 3 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.
