Start Your Video Game Career: Proven Advice on Jobs, Education, Interviews, and More for Starting and Succeeding in the Video Game Industry

Very generic, thas majority of things here are logic and applies for almost every software career

I liked that it gave me perspective of what the game industry is actually like. This (I think) is better for newcomers than anyone else. I choose four stars because it barely scratched the surface of the industry, but it's a great start for someone trying to learn.

Surprisingly this had a lot of great information in there, even though the book is tailored for video game design. I want to go into web development or database management, but the book had a lot of helpful tips and tricks that I will be applying when I am out job hunting. I'd buy this again for sure.

Working closely at a game dev school this book hits a home run. The author details the various jobs that make up a game studio. He covers strategies for preparing a portfolio, resume, code samples and what to expect from the interview process. This is a great book for anyone who is going into the gaming industry.

Arrived quickly, and He enjoyed it. Not much else to say.

I don’t know if i would consider this a start. Came off too vague for me.

Solid book. Useful as I'm transitioning to video game industry as a designer. If you apply the advice, it works. Easy to read.

Well thought out and organized information for anyone considering a career in video game development. Required reading for those looking to change careers or the aspirations of youth about to enter college.
