jMonkeyEngine 3.0 Game Development: A Practical Guide

Wow!!! This book is outstanding and well written. This book help me to lean JME 3.0 with ease. I can’t seem to put the book down. I also love the fact it had a section on how I can import my blender assets into the JME 3!!!

The book is well wrote the authors explains things very clearly and carefully. They strive to make sure you Understand the code and Concepts behind why you use the code. This book in conjunction with Jmonkey's website should move you right from beginner to advanced JME programming as soon as you complete them. I would recommend going through the website's 1st beginner 15 tutorial's then reading this book.With all that being said you have to have the source code because most of the methods aren't given you are given a lot of blocks of code with no clear implementation. no beginner can get through this book without looking through the source code. I do have a few complaints about the source code as well each method should be put in order of appearance in the book, the code should completely match the methods and the commented it code should have some comments explaining why it is commented it out are you could break down and have the classes match the sections if I wasn't already very familiar with java this would be a nightmare.\If you are a beginner to computer programming do not pick up this book. the only reason I say this is because you will spend a lot of time looking at the code examples and the source code and strive to piece it together.To clear up some confusion you have to go to www.P8tech.com/JME.zip to download the source codeto the Authors if you can salvage this by looking at your source code and reading the book and asking yourself if it is beginner friendly.

Great book! Learned a lot.

ob das Buch inhaltlich hält was es verspricht, mag ich jetzt noch nicht zu beurteilen, jedoch handelt es sich wohl dabei um die Referenz um mit der jMonkeyEngine ansprechende Programme zu entwickeln.

Just got this book recently - it's brilliantly written. It explains lots of concepts through practical examples in a form of code and screenshots. I would recommend it to any java programmer having interest in 3D game development.

Very good book. Has everything you need to get started in the engine.
