I was excited when I first saw this book, the content that it promised and the fact that it was released by Novell Press made it a safe buy. I was wrong! The book doesnt cover anything new that cant be found in the NDK documentation. It even uses Novells code samples. It references code on the CD that is non-existent, a common occurence now-a-days. The author obviously did not do any research or hands on work with this book. Do not buy this book, read the NDK documentation and you will be ahead of the game in NDS development.

This book seems to contain a little something for most programmers. It's not an advanced programmer's guide but appears to be aimed at guiding just about any programmer in getting started with NDS. I hope we see more advanced books written in the future. For what it is and the audience it seems to be targeting I'd say it hit the mark.

This book provides a little taste of all things NDS. It has alittle bit of information on NDS programming in C, Java, ActiveX, andsome scripting. This information is enough to get you started tinkering, but it is inadequate for serious development.

This book does provide a good introduction to NDS programming, and is a springboard to bigger and better things. But if you already know the basics of NDS programming, you do not need this book...

Buy it if you want to waste your time and money
