Are there any new Propeller books due to come out soon?

Just wondering. It would be nice to have an in-depth tutorial style book for Spin.

The manual is well written, but doesn't really get into stuff. It seems to just briefly describe most things.

I was spoiled by the BasicStamp. I guess since things are relatively new we'll see more stuff come out.

    Hi TonyA,

    If you haven't already, dig into the PE Kit Labs even if you are using a different platform (there's a sticky-thread for them at the top of the forum).· Your Propeller skills may·be more advanced than the labs already posted, but·Andy has many more outlined and will get back to writing when he's done with his summer BASIC Stamp Educator's Course teacher-travels.···If there is a specific programming topic you'd like to see introduced in a future lab,·just let us know.· We love feedback!

    There is book by another author in the early writing stages as well,·which will feature Proto Board projects.· I don't have a timeline on that one yet but be sure I will post news as it is available.

    Tony...

    I am writing a book on Propeller Assembly... it will be free, but don't hold your breath.

    Rich,

    Very cool.

    (Just a thought) If you're writing a book on Prop ASM, it would probably be easy for you to write one on Spin, you should sell the Spin book though, it would probably sell well.

    I'm not much for code, but I've been working on a way to get my hardware materials organized into a format which could be published in some form. I was even thinking as far a lulu.com as it might be nice to have a formatted, printed book.
