Introducing HTML5 Game Development is a short 120 page book that is an easy, concise read that provides an excellent introduction to building a 2D side-scrolling HTML5 game using Impact, a JavaScript game framework. While the author notes that there are free JavaScript game frameworks, he chose to base the book on Impact since it “has an extra level of polish I haven’t seen with anything else so farâ€Â.

I think Learning Android is a good book to learn how to develop an Android app. The book takes you through the step-by-step development of an Android App (a Twitter app)...starting out small and increasing the functionality and complexity of the app. As the book explains "...we'll add new features in small self-contained chunks and pull them back into the main project so that you can see how it fits together as a whole." I found it very helpful that at each "stopping point", the app always worked. Full Review >

Head First Programming is unlike any other programming book that I have read; it is an interesting book that uses lots of humor, graphics and real life exercises that teach the reader how to program using the programming language Python 3. Head First Programming is not a reference book, but… Full Review >
