Free books for iPhone Games!
« on: June 14, 2010, 01:40:02 PM »
O'Reilly publishing has opened a window into writing games for iPhones and iPads (+/- ?) to jumpstart game production.  These are the books that Safari is allowing free reading on:

1) Real World Flash Game Development

2) Fundamentals of Game Design

3) Game Programming with Silverlight

4) iPhone Game Development

5) Learning iPhone Game Programming

The first 3 on the list are probably a bit of a problem to point at for iPad programming; but I'll bit the last 2 are probably "right on" for the iPhone at least.   This is the website for the book offer:

Warning: They want a fresh EUA and credit card if you put in free offer so it's really free as in beer or a bear!

"Safari" as used by O'Reilly is not referring to the browser made by Apple. It is simply a way to read many of their books without even downloading them (as in their PDF form). They are gradually enlarging the selections available in that area, of course. They are the premier computer book publisher/distributer in the world, IMHO.
