Fay's book cover...
Fay's new book, The LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Zoo!: A Kid-Friendly Guide to Building Animals with the NXT Robotics System, now has a cover - and it looks great!It's got her peacock on the front - complete with colored feathers. (This is one of the very first robot videos I ever saw of her creations and it definitely flaunts those feathers.)

I like it! The style and colors look nice.

According to LEGO, there are two basic markets for the NXT:
1) Adult "geeks" and hobbyists who enjoy the challenge of building the "biggest, baddest NXT on the block", so to speak. Some of these adults also enjoy taking NXT programming "to the next level", by using more challenging programming languages such as pbLua, Java and the like.
2) Kids (and by extension teachers and parents) who want to have fun with and learn more about LEGO robotics.
Some books on the NXT are geared to adults, like "NXT Power Programming" by John Hansen. Others, like the "NXT Zoo" are geared to parents, teachers, and kids. Still others, like the "NXT Idea Book", are for both groups, in that some of the book's robots are simple and others are more complex.
