Can anyone recommend me some good game development books for someone who wants to create "small" games as a hobby? By "small" I mean that my goal is to be able to create games for ocasions like the GitHub Game Off, or some small indie games

you can read the story about how he started working with valve on this post: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/economics/it-all-began-with-a...

How easy is it to get a blue card compared to the old way of getting a work visa for germany? Would you say this is something companies are not going to worry anymore when hiring?

> .. how the browser rendering engine works,

since you mentioned, could anyone point me in the direction of good resources for learning exactly this?

you also have to somehow manage the lifecycle of your views, cleaning up after their event bindings and such. See this stackoverflow question[1] for more about this.

there IS a video for this, although it appears to be a slightly different version: http://asyncjs.com/largescale/

Which book? Could you edit in a link? Thanks!

You should set DEBUG to false in your Django settings file for production. I got a 404 from [1] (probably you are tweaking some stuff?) and can see all your URL patterns...

Agreed. How about making it also a two column structure and give more prominence to the book cover / image?

Really nice, although if I type for example "omellete" (notice the typo) instead of "omelette" it gives me an HTTP500..

sorry if this is completely OT, but as seen on footnote 4, holy shit, they are making mib 3 ? thats awesome!

This is a little (a lot) off-topic but I liked the way he conveys his contact details in that image to the left, heh.

1) Try thinking of things that happen during your day that piss you off and/or that you think could be easier to do. 2) Stop to think if they could be resolved by means of a computer. 3) Think of how a computer could help you resolve it. 4) Examine if your idea has any potential problems that could explain why no one has tried (and succeeded on) doing this before. 5) Start talking to your friends

This hits the nail on the head for me, and I couldn't agree more. If I was interviewed this way for a position, even if I didn't get the job I would have huge respect for the company afterwards.

This was a really interesting article. I like this subject, does anyone know of any books, websites or articles that might have more of the same?

I love the reference to the austin powers' "in a nutshell" scene, heheh.
