Reed, Aaron A. -- Creating Interactive Fiction with Inform 7
My long review of this is
here.
Short review: this is an excellent introduction to Inform 7, an IF
programming language which is not like a lot of other programming
languages. It's also an excellent introduction to why IF is an
interesting art form; the author constructs a complete small game
in front of your eyes, as both a programming tutorial and a design
exercise.
