The Ultimate Game Developer's Sourcebook: The Comprehensive Guide to Making It Big in the Interactive Game Industry

Rating:
Summary: From conception to sale, this book covers it all!
Review: For anybody interested in game programming, this book is a great place to start. But be warned-- you won't find the latest coding tricks in this book, or any code for that matter. This book deals with story development, employment, starting your own business, hiring, how to get employed, how to decide what to program and for what platforms, how to work on within a budget and more!

Rating:
Summary: Outdated!
Review: This book was published in 1996. To give you and idea of how that translates in terms of book content, the big game of that time was Doom 2. They were still waiting for Quake! Obviously, the industry has changed markedly since then leaving this book in the dust.
If you can get this book REALLY cheap then you might want to consider it, but otherwise move on.
