Re: Gosu Book I found at Barnes and Noble.....

[Carson Gross]

Hi Edwin,

Unfortunately I can’t recommend that book, it looks like it’s just a collection of random stuff available online.

As of right now there isn’t a book out by a major publisher.  I have considered writing one in e-pub format, but that’s been in the planning stage for about five years now.  :)

The good news is that Gosu is pretty similar to Java, and if you master the docs page:

  http://gosu-lang.github.io/docs.html

You are probably 90% of the way there.

Cheers,

Carson

I was searching tutorials and books on Gosu programming and came to a site where there is a PDF of Gosu Programming overview

     URL link is: http://goumtk.ru/out.php?url=http://files.meetup.com/1736769/SFPSDMG-Gosu%20Intro.pdf

I got your e-mail id from the PDF. 

I saw this book being sold at Barnes and Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/gosu-waylon-christian-terryn/1104958097?ean=9786136662961

Is the above a good book to start with? It is only $76 pages and cost $46.00

I have a background in Java, JSP, Servlets, C#, VB .NET and I am studying Gosu Programming on my own because my employer

Harleysville Insurance merged with Nationwide and Nationwide will be implementing a new Commercial Line System using

Guidewire. 

Could you recommend other Gosu publications or web links to get me started and become proficient in the language?

A reply is highly appreciated.
