Hi Paul, I have the Quick Start Guide and I must say the quality of the book is impressive, you really do get down to using OSG quickly. Though for the simple examples, but it is a start for all new members of OSG. :) It also acts as a mini reference for some of the older members who don't work full time with OSG, the hobbiest I refering too.
The only concern I have about the official Reference is that it is for OSG 1.2, and we are sitting at OSG 2.0 which is also a major version change, thus plenty nice new features and some API changes, particularly to the use of SimpleViewer, etc thats helps with better integration with many widget libraries. I believe the new interface will work better with GTKMM and GTK+, as the older interface was a real pain to use. Though I discover ease of use when I have free time at the end of the year. What is your plans regarding a reference for OSG 2.0?
