The book begins with an overview of Second Life basics, including movement, inventory, and the client/server debug menu before discussing the basics of working with primitives, Second Life's building blocks. A chapter on advanced building techniques is followed by detailed information on the art of texturing and lighting. A clothing and accessories chapter then discusses everything from fabric and button choices to adding wrinkles and shadows for attaining a high level of realism. A scripting basics chapter is then followed by advanced scripting information so that readers will learn how to create scripts to communicate with residents and other scripts as well as manage data and interact with the world.

Rezension zu „Creating Your World, w. CD-ROM “
"... Second Life hat seine Bibel! Was die Autoren rund um die SL-Berühmtheit Aimee Weber und mit freundlicher Unterstützung von Linden Lab hier mit diesem Werk der Community zur Verfügung stellen, lässt sich mit einem Wort zusammenfassen: göttlich! Auf 400 Seiten werden alle Geheimnisse der Grids optisch und technisch ansprechend hochwertig gelüftet, wobei die Autoren jederzeit darauf achten, dass sowohl Anfänger ohne jegliches Hintergrundwissen, als auch Profis, die ihre Kenntnisse vertiefen wollen, voll auf ihre Kosten kommen. Ein absolutes Highlight des Buches ist der Scripting-Kurs: Von den Basics der LSL (Linden Scripting Language) über das Erstellen von tollen Partikeleffekten bis hin zu einem selbst erstellten Flugzeug - selten bekommt man einen solch detaillierten Einblick in die Königsdisziplin des SL-Content-Creating wie in diesem Guide! Als Sahnebonbon liegt dem Buch eine rappelvolle CD-Rom mit frei verwendbaren Texturen, Templates und Scripten bei..." (SLM, Nr. 2/2008/ Heft 3)
