Technical Reviewer Needed; Scratch Book

I'm an editor at No Starch Press, an independent technical publisher based in San Francisco.

Over the past year or so I've been editing a book about Scratch. The book is not academic, and it's not a teacher's guide; it has no larger goal than to get kids excited about programming.

I'm looking for a technical reviewer who can weigh in on the merits of the approach, ideally someone with direct experience using Scratch with kids.

The work is 200 pages over 11 chapters. The reviewing work will likely continue through the next 3-4 months, and we'd pay you for your work and credit  you.

If you're curious about this project, please respond to tyler (at) nostarch (dot) com via email, summarizing your experience with Scratch.

If you're unable to provide a formal technical review, but would still like to read a pre-release copy of the book in a few months, I'm happy to share that as well. Just drop a line and I'll make sure you receive a PDF.

Thanks!

Tyler
