There are a few books available for the Propeller, and I've found them to be useful and interesting (check out our review of Programming & Customizing the Multicore Propeller).  But I've long felt there was something missing: A small, beginning book that was cheap.  Jeff Ledger & I decided to fix that, so we've put one together.  We call it, "Getting Started With the Propeller". 

The book includes revised & updated content from our online tutorials: Step-by-step lessons and two learning projects for games and audio.  It also includes bonus projects like broadcasting and ethernet, and an exclusive chapter on the Propeller's architecture and Spin.  There's still more proofing and editing to complete, but it should be wrapped up and available next week for Kindle & Nook for $2.99. 

I thought it would be fun to share the 1st chapter and introduction before the book is released - download it using the links below and let me know what you think!
