They are all different but interesting in different ways. "teach yourself screenwriting" is a good start and gives a good overall understanding of the structure (a bit dry perhaps, but gives a complete overview) "Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting" is the de-facto classic starting point for all screen writers. "the third act" helped me clarify that the end of my existing presentation lacks a truly satisfying "final battle"/resolution! "Writing a great movie": I haven't quite finished it yet, but I really love it. The working tools in it are brilliant and I would probably reccommend it as a "second book" after you get the basic understanding of the general structure. Hopefully something good will come out of this :-) eheh, not to show off, but although I didn’t have much time these days (spending evenings playing PES 2008 on the wii with a friend of mine these days) i’m almost finishing my fourth book already.

FYI, the 3Cs is a concept borrowed from Ron Jeffries (http://www.xprogramming.com/xpmag/expCardConversationConfirmation.htm) and reported on the book Applied User Stories. The session was filmed, but I heard there where be some techical problems with it so I don't know if it will be broadcasted. Maybe I can do a special presentation exclusively for you next time i see you around :-) Dinh, that’s great to hear!

I know! don't ask). Your slides are great, I would have loved to see your presentation (was it actually... filmed?). I will definitely use your material for my exam, "3C" it's so easy to remember :-) And you look great with a guitar btw Cheers Claudio, I’ve just had a great 1-week agile training and I am preparing for an exam (?!?

Pictures are almost exclusively from istockphoto.com, by the way. The guy with the guitar is actually me...about 20 years ago ;-) The screenwriting books I bought are: - Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting (Syd Field) - Writing a Great Movie: Key Tools for Successful Screenwriting (Jeff Kitchen) - The Anatomy of Story (John Truby) - Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach (Paul Gulino) - The Third Act: A Structural Approach to Writing Great Endings (Drew Yanno) - Alternative Scriptwriting: Successfully Breaking the Rules (Ken Dancyger and Jeff Rush) (+ another one I don't have handy here) Thanks Paul!
