Programming the Propeller with Spin - A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing

Hey all,
I pre-ordered Programming the Propeller with Spin - A Beginner's Guide to Parallel Processing by Harprit Sandhu. What a deal at $19.77!
I am not far into the book yet, but it was exactly what I needed and hoped for.·The writting style and logical progression through the subjects is helping me make sense of it all. I have been working with some limited sucess in my spare time to understand the Prop better (going through the PEKit Labs). I have also been tinkering with the Stingray and making some progress there too. This book is filling in some more of the puzzle.
I am mostly interested in robotics (as most of you know). I also do alot of work with younger kids. I am really looking forward the new Scribbler 2 for this purpose. This book provides a great way to introduce real beginners to the Prop - in my opinion.
Thanks to Harprit·for this wonderful contribution to those of us beginning to use the Propeller.

· Just got your book and I am already loving it.· You have a very easy style and the commented source code is very easy to follow and figure out where you are going..
· Well done..

I think its a trick for a knowledgeable person to write for those with far less understanding without accidentally assuming all kinds of comprehension.
You did it !
Made my day.
