From the reviews:

"An introduction to programming Mindstorms NXT robots using the NXT-G programming toolkit by Lego is provided in this book. ... The book covers every step needed to write programs, starting from no knowledge of programming and slowly bringing in additional programming constructs. ... Overall, the book is clear and well written, intended for an audience with no programming skills who need step-by-step instructions ... ." (M. Gini, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (12), December, 2008)
