Did you try Microsoft? msdn.microsoft.com -- they have released a 'LITE'
version of their programming development studios (C#, VB, Java, ...) and
also have their Game studio, coding for fun and their robotics studio -- all
for free. Their robotics studio aparently includes a complete NXT
programming library. I do not own the NXT so i have not downloaded it to
try it out.
try this link here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/robotics/
