Mascone Center: West, 2nd Floor
Book signing

I ran into Mike McShaffry, the author of the book "Game Coding Complete" on the second floor of Mascone West. He and David "Rez" Graham were signing and talking about the release their latest edition of "Game Coding Complete" going into its 4th Edition. In the 4th Edition of the book, "Rez" helped out McShaffry update huge portions of the book to keep it up to date for a new generation of gaming programmers. Both McShaffry and "Rez" when not tinkering with the book are electronic game programmers who develop games that aren't seen or heard of until many years later. McShaffry believes that this sudden surge in mobile platform gaming is another phase in game development and that it will resume to grow as it did previously with stationary platforms back in the 1990's.
