Scripting a Brave New World?

Unless your cave is particularly dark and deep, you've no doubt heard about Second Life, the virtual world where players own land, gather together with like-minded avatars, and run businesses (sometimes even successfully, though that's not the norm yet). Is it a bright, shiny, brand-new world with huge potential, or a flash in the pan? At Dr. Dobb's, we're betting on the former, which is why we've just announced our Dr. Dobb's Life 2.0 project. This is a world where code creates value, so it's a natural place for good programmers to shine. To help you do this, we're committed to bringing you the tools you need to be successful in this virtual universe. For starters, check out "Using the Linden Scripting Language."
