  Hi @TechBoxNorth ! Imo this book is very short. Though basic info about managing scenes and Gideros OOP structure is extremely valuable for newcomers.
  
  Pretty much everything that is described there is working nowadays (if something doesn't, you will easily get the answer here on forum)
  
  You can also check these links, there're lots of useful information:

  Well this is embarrassing, I remembered that I had an account at packtpub that I haven't used in years so I log in and the first item in the list of purchased books was indeed the Gideros book LoL! Better start reading then

  I bought this book, it was very useful for me
  
  There is also an outdated manual, but it is useful for novices

  That reminds me, I was copying that manual to the wiki so we can all update it.
