Masters of Doom

Posted by Codejoy Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:01:00 GMT

So it is rare I will admit that I read a book straight through, but I am pleased to announce I can add one more book to my list of "have reads" and that book is: "Masters of doom". It was a pretty good read and made me long for the days of creating a game in the garage with a few good friends. I was lucky enough to get a taste of this (Though it didn't yield any Ferraris) but it was fun and even got some notoriety out of it.

Glorious Day

Finally Apple has done it, they announced a SDK for the Apple iPhone (and also for apples iTouch). What is an sdk to my non-techie readers, it stands for "Software Development Kit". Basically its a bunch of programs that allow a developer (me) to write programs and software for a device (iPhone/iTouch). Why is this a big deal? Cause it allows most ANY developer (not a big famous/rich/powerful) one to write software for these devices. The software(s) I plan to write, why they will be photographically related of course! Or I might go back to my roots and build some video games for your iPhone or iTouch (mobile gaming is where I got my game programming start professionally speaking) so who knows, the kit doesn't come out till feb but the knowledge that it is coming is a glorious thing.
