Coding4Fun Allows For Creating WoW, Wii, And Xbox Projects
By William Usher: 2009-01-30 11:04:46
No misleading headline here. Coding4Fun (O'Reilly) by Dan Fernandez and Brian Peek, will actually help wannabe programmers, developers, etc., achieve some meaningful goals with coding languages such as C#, VB, Lua, ASP.NET, WPF, XNA Game Studio, and Popfly.
In my own personal experience, Lua is one of the easiest to learn…everything is pretty much in English. Nevertheless, the list of objectives for creating programs and whatnot is actually quite doable for pretty much anyone who has an interest in game designing or miscellaneous software functions. Even Alex Albrecht, the Creator of Diggnation, commented that “This book is amazing! The scope is so wonderfully broad that anyone who has an interest in designing games at any level should read this book." You can learn more about all this Coding4Fun by visiting the Official Coding4Fun Website. The list of topics within the book is below.
