Great book. Great way to teach programming using engaging content and best programming practices. Also like the access to the author via the book's home page on pragprog.com with the discussion forum, so if you get stuck, you can ask questions and not simply get stalled. This is helpful to those new to programming. This may be too basic to those who already know how to program, but is a total gem for those who don't and are learning.
This is really just a walkthrough of some very basic items copied out of the Bukkit API. This book is another lazy, "Copy this line. Change this number. Now you're a programmer! Thanks for the money sucker!" kind of thing.

Without a hope of setting up a server that friends will want to play, interest in building anything but the rudiments is gone. So, if you are trying to interest a child in programming - great. If you hope that your

Really good, but sadly dependent on CraftBukkit which has been taken down.
