| Building a virtual world is different to programming it. Programmers create the infrastructure, builders create the content. Builders are responsible for adding areas to the world, managing existing areas, and generally building the world the players see and hear. The Knack of Building section takes a look at how to build for a world. Not just the technical aspects, but the more important knack of producing quality, respectful areas with the tools you use. As with anything else, the result is independent of the tools used - it's the effort put in, and how you use the tool that counts.
