Apress ebook "TouchDevelop" free now on apress.com

[Jackolantern]

TouchDevelop is a new mobile development platform created by Microsoft Research. It uses HTML5 to develop for (what sounds like) any mobile platform. Anyway, the ebook is free for a limited time (maybe just today), so why not pick it up and put it away in case you get an interest to learn it later, which is what I have done. I think the ebook would normally cost about $20.

Get it here.

EDIT: Oh, and you can get 50% on all Microsoft-related ebooks on apress.com with coupon code T3CH13 until June 7th.

Wow thanks, i've downloaded it because I want so much to develop for new platforms, I'm getting a bit tired of 3D and even PC


Thanks a lot for sharing

EDIT:
Does it teaches how to build a game from scratch using this new technology ?

You welcome, but I don't have a clue lol. I just read the info taken from the back of the book, which does mention something about making a game, but I have no idea what it is lol.

Most of my "free book" or "big discount" alerts come to me through Apress emails, which is one of the largest if not the largest tech book publisher. I think if you got the free book you will get the emails, too (don't worry, they aren't a bother and I don't think I even get one once a month).

But I will keep posting them for topics of interest to IR (web development, HTML5 game dev, etc.) when I get them
