★★★★☆

I absolutely loved Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback)! It completely changed my perspective on games. At first I wasn't sure about game analytics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains JavaScript is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Web Development & Design feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

★★★★☆

Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback) offers a compelling take on games, though not without flaws. While the treatment of analytics is excellent, I found the sections on Computers & Technology less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about analytics that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Books will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Books, if not the definitive work.
