Essential reading for any game developer

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is the companion reading to the Udacity course on HTML5 game development that Colt McAnlis and Peter Lubbers taught ( [...]). It's the most essential reading on proper browser app engineering for the front- and back-ends since Steve Souders penned "High Performance Web Sites" ([...]) in 2007. Scalability, flexibility, responsible mobile asset management, performant apps - this is chock-full of life lessons any dev should commit to memory.
