I love it!! It covers everything from beginners' tutorials (several of them) to advanced digital signal processing. Csound itself is somewhat difficult to use - a bit like assembly-language programming. However, there are a number of GUI wrappers for it. And it's not big on algorithmic composition.

Hi list, just a short question to those who already have Richard Boulanger's "The Csound Book". I was going to order one soon, what is your impression/opinion on it? I understand that a certain degree of knowledge about synthesis/computer music is required in order it to make sense to the reader (I hope I have that), but if that is fulfilled, can you recommend this book? Or what are its weak spots in your opinion? Thanks, Frank (expecting at least one answer from bright.net ;-)
