Acerca de esta escucha
International Best Seller in Computer Game Programming and Children's Computer Game Books
Written by a video game marketer and consultant, who had worked in both AAA game development and indie game studios for over a decade.
Come experience the thrills and the ups and downs of this incredible industry - with an emphasis on first-hand accounts of what it's really like to develop, launch, and publish video games.
Hear first-hand accounts and words of wisdom - about how they got their starts in the video game industry - from celebrated experts who have worked on such iconic games like Pac-Man, Ultima, RuneScape, Dark Age of Camelot, Candy Crush Saga, DungeonKeeper, Dragon Age, Star Wars the Old Republic, ABC Mouse, Halo, Pieces of Flair, Real Racing, FIFA Ultimate Team, and many more.
Together with a framework that allows a young gamer to look inside one's self; explore one's unique set of strengths, weaknesses, talents, and values; decide if this industry is right for one's self, how to stand out, and how to get started....
This book seeks to delight, educate, and inspire the readers by answering three sets of questions:
1. What is it really like to create and publish games?
2. Does the industry offer viable opportunities for young people? What about teens who are not STEM-inclined or artistic?
3. Should educators and parents foster, cultivate, or cure such “dreamers”? And if the former, how?

There have been many books - on a large and small scale - about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others. Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and stereotypes about Steve Jobs. The conventional, one-dimensional view of Jobs is that he was half genius, half jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike.

How do some startups go from zero to billions in mere months? How did Alexander the Great, YouTube tycoon Michelle Phan, and Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon climb to the top in less time than it takes most of us to get a promotion? What do high-growth businesses, world-class heart surgeons, and underdog marketers do in common to beat the norm? One way or another, they do it like computer hackers. They employ what psychologists call "lateral thinking: rethinking convention and breaking "rules" that aren't rules.
