40" Synodic Moon Gong (#IGE558)

The Synodic Moon represents the period of time the Moon takes to orbit the Earth in relation to the relative position of the Sun (as opposed to the background stars. This period is 29.5 days. By getting in tune with this gong, you put yourself in sync, like a watch, to the relative cycles of the Earth, the moon and the Sun.

Each handmade Oetken Gong has its own individual range of tonality and feel, all while retaining the quality of the classic style. Although Broder Oetken is well known as one of the current gongmasters in the world, he says he is constantly developing, honing and perfecting his gongmaking process. Like his mentor, Walter Meyer, he intends to pass his knowledge to his apprentices to ensure that this rare handicraft continues.

If you're developing games with Godot, you need this book
Format: Paperback
Godot is a fantastic game engine, and it has lots of aids to learning -- written tutorials, video tutorials, sample projects, one of the best manuals I've ever encountered. Still, it's nice to have a physical book you can hold in your lap, make notes in, and use as an overall guide to developing competence in Godot development. This is that book. It's has a logical flow, has genuinely useful sample projects, and is written in a clear, highly accessible style. If you are learning Godot, you can't do better than this book.

I didn’t really get a full grasp until reading the philosophy behind Godot.
Format: Paperback
Well paced and very readable. I worked through the online tutorials before buying this book but didn’t really get a full grasp until reading the philosophy behind Godot. Though I have been a C programmer for 34 years, and a Java developer for 22 years, and a Python developer for 18 years, I have never been seriously interested in a game engine until my son introduced me to Godot a couple of months ago. Godot is tremendous! I have even used Godot’s UI controls to produce wireframes for business apps.

Solid, albeit abbreviated, coverage of Godot Game Engine 3.0
Format: Paperback
Solid introduction to Godot. Lightly touches on most topics, enough to get you up to speed an moving with it, though I personally would prefer a book that included much more depth on each area covered. Granted that wouldn't be a Sams "in 24 hours" book, but rather more of a "definitive guide" or "bible" which this is not. There's definitely enough meat to sink your teeth into, and being the first (and presently only) available book, it's worth the price. Aside from content, docking one star for difficult to read glossy pages and light weight fonts in code samples... It's difficult to find a good angle to read the book without glare across the page from a light and my middle-aged eyes struggle a bit with the code samples. UPDATE -- I've decided I have to dock another star. While the book is written in English, its authors are not native english speakers. It seems a better job could have been done with editing and review. There are a lot of clunky sentences, and several instances where the instruction is unclear. A small example: "A trick to add a simple outline is to add a new material to the Next Pass property. In this new material, set it to Unshaded, add a Grow of 0.01, change the Cull mode to front, and set its color to black." For someone familiar with all the various groupings of properties in a spatial material node, that might be all the information needed, but this book is (I thought) aimed at people with less experience with the framework. Those handful of properties are scattered throughout several groups of properties, and in the case of grow, there's only a field to enter a value when you've clicked a checkbox first. This may be a minor thing, and one could probably make the argument that materials were covered a couple chapters prior -- though that section doesn't really mention all of these properties... Lots of little assumptions and oversights like that make the learning process a little more frustrating that it could be. The information that's there is still great, but if you have little or no experience with Godot, expect to have to do some extra legwork to fill in some gaps on your own.

Great for newcomers to Godot
Format: Paperback
Excellent book for beginners with Godot. It will however require some previous programing knowledge this book isn't so much a teaching you to code book instead its an explanation of the Godot software.
