For the first 72 hours, <a href="http://NoStarch.com" target="_blank">NoStarch.com</a> offers a 40% off coupon plus a free<br> e-book version if you buy the book from their website. Otherwise the book is distributed through O'Reilly<br> and is available at the usual places wherever O'Reilly sells its wares.<br> <br> ROAR is a book designed and authored by freshmen students from Northeastern, edited by myself and<br> David Van Horn. It is intended for novices with some basic exposure to programming, not necessarily<br> in Racket or Lisp-related languages. Following Conrad Barski's Land of Lisp, ROAR mixes instructions<br> on programming with the creation of interactive games;, all of it illustrated with drawings and short cartoon<br> stories. While LOL uses text-based gaming, ROAR is based on the HtDP 2e libraries, used inside of #lang<br> racket modules. <a href="http://NoStarch.com" target="_blank">NoStarch.com</a>'s web site includes a sample chapter, "Hungry Henry", which showcases<br> the creation of distributed GUI games.<br> <br> At Northeastern, we intend to use ROAR as the recommended bridge between HtDP/2e -- which does not<br> use Racket but teaching languages -- and real Racket programming. I will also borrow exercises from ROAR<br> to run my freshman course on program design.<br> <br> Congratulations to Mimi, Spencer, Rose, Eric, Scott, Ryan, Forrest, and Nicole for sticking through a<br> two-year production process.<br> <br> Enjoy -- Matthias<br> <br> p.s.
