The Business of Indie Games Everything You Need to Know to Conquer the Indie Games Industry

The Business of Indie Games provides exceptional insight into how the video games industry works. It shares valuable information on how to successfully self-publish and secure publisher support. Whether you’re making your first game or tenth this book is a must read. – Paul Baldwin Curve Digital The video game industry is a tough business and anyone looking to succeed in indie development should give The Business of Indie Games a read. – Graham Smith Co-Founder of DrinkBox Studios This book is a fast track to success for anyone managing a game launch and looking to raise funding for their projects. It shares knowledge that you only learn after years of triumphs and failures within this industry. – Scott Drader Co-Founder of Metalhead Software There’s nothing like The Business of Indie Games taught in school. You learn how to make a game but not how to conduct business market and launch a game. This book dives into topics that every indie developer should know. – Yukon Wainczak Founder of Snoozy Kazoo I’ve seen no better guide for understanding how the video game industry really works. An important read for anyone whose work touches games including those of us looking to engage the community. – Carla Warner Director of STREAM for No Kid Hungry The Business of Indie Games explores what many universities forget to cover: how to sell and market your own indie game to potential publishers and developers. While many classes help students on their way to designing and programming their own games there are few classes that equip students with the skills to sell their own product. In essence this means future indie game developers are not equipped to talk to investors negotiate with publishers and engage with major platforms like Steam and Nintendo. Authors Alex Josef Alex Van Lepp and Marshal D. Carper are looking to rectify this problem by helping indie game developers and companies level up their business acumen. With detailed chapters and sections that deal with different engines negotiation tactics and marketing The Business of Indie Games is the perfect omnibus for up-and-coming indie game developers.

Self-Healing Systems and Wireless Networks Management

Self-Healing Systems and Wireless Networks Management

Do you believe in open-source development? Would you like to see your security system grow and learn by itself? Are you sick of paying for software license fees every year that produce little return on investment? And would you prefer to invest in something you could sell later on to other IT security departments? If you answered yes to these questions then this is the book for you. Addressing the issues of fault identification and classification Self-Healing Systems and Wireless Networks Management presents a method for identifying and classifying faults using causal reasoning—a powerful bottom up technique for deep surface and cross context correlation establishment. It explains how to employ a similarity matrix to match the user activity log and its pattern in a transformed space and discusses the development and deployment of a policy engine. The book describes how to use this self-growing policy engine in collaboration with a scheduler and plug-in bank to generate a healing policy. This healing policy presents the solution of the direct and causal fault. The author describes how to embed the solutions of the related faults in the healing policy so that if a client faces more faults related to the previous one they can be addressed at the client side. Exploring prototype systems the text defines supporting systems architectures and includes a case study of an autonomic healing-based self-management engine. It also explains how to fulfill the tasks in linear time so that the increase in the source file size does not affect the performance of your system—making the system highly scalable for distributed self-healing systems. This book provides valuable guidance to help you build a self-growing self -earning self-healing system that after development learns for itself about the IT security vulnerabilities of your organization and fills the holes for future breach prevention.

PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

The concept of a PKI (public key infrastructure) has been around for decades but it is one strand of IT which has taken an extraordinarily long time to come to fruition within the mainstream. This is mostly because implementing a PKI is time consuming and difficult. Maintaining a PKI is equally time consuming and even more difficult within the real world of mergers and acquisitions against a backdrop of ever-changing technology. Many organisations simply give up and hand everything over to a third party who promises to manage everything on their behalf. This is generally not a good idea and simply delays the inevitability of failures and misunderstood complexity. This book explores all the aspects of implementing and maintaining a PKI that the other books on the subject seem to miss. It reflects decades of hard-won experience not only in PKI not only in IT not only in electronics but in business government agencies and academia alike. The book also explores the existence of a PKI alongside other technologies such as biometrics and against an ever-changing world of development methodologies. This last point is particularly relevant at this time as we are in the middle of a quiet but all encompassing revolution in this respect. Consequently this is the one book on PKI that you have to have on your shelf whether you be a company director IT manager government minister or teacher of IT. It is the book which fills in all the gaps left in the literature and treads paths which others fear to tread. You will enjoy it enormously if you are from an IT background. | PKI Implementation and Infrastructures

Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering

Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering

We know certain chemicals cause problems in the workplace. The issues now are: Where do they occur in the workplace? How can we best evaluate them? What are the procedures for dealing with them safely? Many books simply define the problem and tell you that you need a program. Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene gives you a guide to air sampling protocols from start to finish. The book presents sampling technology updated with today's tools - such as microcircuitry and remote sensing. The authors emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how air monitoring can adequately report current environmental conditions associated with outdoor media indoor remediation efforts proximal equipment interior line monitoring and the interrelationship of ventilation parameters. In addition to providing the how-tos of sampling this guide covers the basics of chemical risk assessment biological assessment engineering evaluation of mechanical system design criteria and chemical or process engineering hazard assessments. It presents the information using text text outlines graphics and pictures - including cross sections of instrumentation and side bars to elaborate on complex concepts. Faulty readings caused by poor sampling techniques can be very costly. This book provides the how-tos for making design engineering and on-site decisions as to instrumentation selection and scheduled usage. Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering will allow you to complete the sampling process systematically and correctly from initial suspicions to the use of obtained results.
