I read the 1st edition while I was in high school. I knew I wanted to get into tech after reading that book. Many years later, I worked with Charles at Xamarin. For weeks after I joined, I thought of ways to get him to sign my book. One day

Today, a pure coincidence to the announcement that Microsoft acquired Xamarin, my brother and I launched a preview into a project that we've been working on for some time now. This is a Xamarin.Forms UI Inspector called XenForms: http

Jamie King has great videos on OpenGL, among other things, on his YouTube channel. It looks like it was last updated 8 months ago with 99 videos spanning 14 hours. His commentary is awesome, so you will stay entertained. https://

It's definitely something I could port over in the future. Maybe I can learn a little about Android development in the process. I'll most likely wait until I have a polished game. I submitted an update to the game a hour ago that

I can see that now. Sometimes it takes another set of eyes. I think I had the mechanics stuck in my head, so I always looked over it. I'm going to fix that now.

Yeah the ad is a part of the problem. It wasn't an issue until last night, when the ads kicked in. Before it was harder on the 4s, but now it seems nearly impossible. That being said, I'm going to fix it and make it playability fo

I just picked it up on the 4s, and Im with you on that. I'm going to fix that now. I tried it out in the simulator, but nothing beats the real device. Thanks for the feedback.

Video games were my gateway into computers. I contribute my path as a developer to when I started playing the Quake 1 demo in 96. I remember getting the demo from a pc mag cd, and spending all day playing. One day I wanted to start learning

Yeah, Chris' blog is great and where I got most of the assets. If anything he teaches you it doesn't take much to get something good for a little work. The sounds were purchased from http://audiojungle.net/ The w

Awesome man, thanks for the compliments. It's seriously rewarding to have someone like what you create. I'm worried that there is way too much green though. I know the right colors can bring up some emotion. I've tinkered wit

Thanks for the feedback. I totally agree that it needs to get moved. I recently started hitting the leaderboard on accident myself, but I wasn't sure if that was just me or other people too.

I know it's common to start projects and never finish. I’ve started tons of them: mobile apps, games, web apps, etc. Every once in awhile, for some unexplained reason I’ll finish what I started. The success is small but incremental. I
