I have worked on this book project as a technical reviewer.The book is true to the name "made easy." Even without a technical background in programming, advanced concepts are made clear and easy to understand so you can dive into development.The book is for anyone starting with Luau programming who wants to build games on Roblox. The book teaches you the fundamentals of programming and introduces you to the Roblox interface before diving deeper into game development.The book is complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions. As a result, you will be able to quickly learn how to produce quality Roblox games with great potential for success. I particularly enjoyed the bonus chapter '50 cool things to do in Roblox', which includes some excellent best practices to implement on the platform while you create, publish, and learn to monetize your games.I'd strongly recommend this as your first book if you're looking for guidance to build your 1st game on the platform or want to learn to program in general.

After going through the material, I discovered a great deal of nuances with Roblox. It is definitely intended for several different audiences, and can really nourish the audience towards engineering games.Great book overall “highly recommend…”

This gives indepth information on coding for ROBLOX. My son is really invested in making games for Roblox. This book has helped him develop his game. I have read this to so I can test the code that he wrote for him. This gives more information than simply watching the videos on youtube.

W. Thielemans Jul 15, 2022

I've really enjoyed reading this book so far, and its pretty well explained. The examples used in the book are really helpful as well. Overall i haven't had any issues with it, 5 stars.

If you have a kid at home interested in Roblox development this may be a good resource for them to use. Much of the information is available on the official docs, but this textbook offers an assisted walkthrough of the content, as well as provides some good code examples. I also think students will find the 50 things to do at the end of the book and the authors personal experiences learning the content helpful.
