How to Get a Job in Video Games

This book was written from an artist's perspective. But it did touch on some issues for computer programmers. A lot of it just seemed like the author bragging. There were some good insights. For example, you should choose a college that is in close proximity to a big game development company.

The author cautions the reader about the state of instructors in game development college courses. Those instructors may not have knowledge of current practices in game development. He also cautions you to not compare yourself to other students in a game development school program. Instead compare yourself to successful current game developers.

Many of the ideas from the author are not good ones. Don't slack off at school. Go to community college to save money, And so on. Not sure how I would rate the book overall. Maybe two or three stars out of five.
