SHORTLISTED FOR WATERSTONES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2024 SHORTLISTED FOR THE CHILDREN'S WAINWRIGHT PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION An introduction to the wondrous world of clouds, by the internationally bestselling founder of the Cloud Appreciation Society and a prize-winning children's book author and illustrator Have you ever watched a cloud being born? Clouds come in all manner of shapes and sizes, from low-lying Stratus to high-flying Cirrus via roll clouds, banner clouds and tornados. This beautifully illustrated guide reveals the facts, secrets and stories of all the major cloud types, and how they shape the weather around them. We learn their fancy Latin names, explore the parts of the sky where they like to hang out, marvel at the ways they play with sunlight - and even visit them on other planets, where they are sometimes made of acid. Cloudspotting for Beginners will inspire curious minds with a lifelong sense of meteorological wonder.

A Good Starting Point
Format: Paperback
I have experience with 3D modeling software and am an experienced programmer. It took me two days to get through the book, and I learned quite a bit about Godot. It would likely take someone completely new to this sort of software quite a bit longer. You could certainly dig up all the information in this book online, but this book walks you through the basics step-by-step and I recommend it as a starting point that isn't going to overwhelm you. I have just ordered the rest of the books in the series.

An excellent and easy intro to Godot
Format: Kindle
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn the sleek, open-source game engine Godot. The engine has so many features but learning the interface and workings of a new engine can be intimidating. This book knocks down that barrier and takes you through learning the interface, in getting comfortable with creating 3d objects, creating a 3d terrain and setting up a maze. It includes a link to resources to get you started. It is a good, basic intro and I'm looking forward to learning more.

The book is missing page 60 in the Kindle edition
Format: Kindle
I actually think the book is really good. I also like the way the content is divided into several books to make the cost of each book inexpensive. However, the Kindle edition that I purchases is missing page 60. I don't know if this was intentional or an oversight. I really want to give the book 4 or 5 stars. I gave it one in hopes of getting someone's attention. I will update this review and change the number of stars once I get an answer about page 60.

Perfect for beginners to explore with a minimum investment if making video games is for you
Format: Kindle
As an absolute beginner I found the book perfect for anyone that wants to explore the making of video games without having to studying lot of software programming. Prior to this I also read the similar book on Unity and found that for an absolute beginner this is perhaps a more gentle introduction. Godot seems to be at this level simpler than Unity as all the necessary elements to make a meaningful game are self contained. Patrick is an excellent teacher and drives you step by step to the point where you would be able to create on your own a multi scene 3D environment. Just getting there is very satisfying as I was able to surprise friends and family on my new acquired skill. Clearly after tasting what you can do with this book you must commit to some level of learning of software and this is where you need to ask yourself if your "exploration" is over or you are so thrilled you want to become a pro. This is entirely up to you, Patrick has shown you the way with a minimum investment of time and money, good luck whatever you decide to do.

Good introduction, but outdated now with Godot 4
Format: Kindle
It was a great introduction to Godot 3, but now after Godot 4 is out, the water plugin doesn’t work anymore used in the book.
