When I started my first SL project, my wife grabbed a couple SL books from the library where she works. The first was Second Life For Dummies
. This may seem surprising, but I have found many of the Dummies books to be humorous and informative introductions into new topics. This title didn’t fall into that category. I learned more exploring in-world for a couple hours than reading this book. Second Life for Complete Morons would be a better title.
The second was Second Life: A Guide to Your Virtual World by Brian A. White. This is an excellent introduction to SL! The book covers all of the major topics about SL, it contains many valuable tutorials and many excellent screenshots for reference. I highly recommend it. One of the build tutorials in the book is how to make a waterfall. Ironically, on my first SL project, I was asked to make a waterfall. I grabbed the exact waterfall used in the tutorial from Brian’s land in SL and dissected it before building multiple waterfalls.
