In a recent interview by The Daily, author David Guerineau stated he wrote this book for those ?who don?t speak code.? Guerineau said. ?The reason was that I was very excited about GameSalad but also very frustrated by the lack of existing books on this subject. I spent hours learning GameSalad from forums and online tutorials, trying to learn as much as possible. So I?ve decided to share in a structured, all-in-one approach what I learned about GameSalad the hard way.? The book gives readers step-by-step directions on how to create games that resemble all-time classics like Pong, and modern favorites like Angry Birds. There are also sections on how to create non-game apps. Readers will also find tips on how to successfully prep their app for publication to the App Store as well as using iOS features like iAd and GameCenter.
?Though this book is designed for beginners, the truth is that anyone can benefit from using GameSalad, even experienced developers,? said Guerineau. ?Using it will give readers a comprehensive approach to develop their first app.?
