Rapidly prototyping games_FITC Amsterdam_2013
This document compares and contrasts several game development engines and frameworks. Unity is mentioned as being easy for artists and animators to use, allowing deployment to web and mobile, and having a simple asset pipeline. However, it has performance limitations and lacks low-level device APIs. Unreal Engine is described as performant and game-oriented, deploying to Android and iOS, but its asset pipeline needs work and UI can be difficult. Godot deploys to many platforms and has good 3D workflow with live coding, but 2D is less straightforward and it does not deploy to web. The document recommends small team sizes, keeping projects simple, user testing early, and being willing to iterate and change ideas that are not working.
Continuous Updating
Continuous Updating is a way to keep your software project up-to-date. Big migrations are risky and expensive. Small migrations you can do on the fly.

Devops, the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.
This document discusses the DevOps movement and how operations and development teams can work more collaboratively. Some key points:
- DevOps aims to break down barriers between development and operations teams through better communication and automation.
- In the past, developers would deploy code without considering operational requirements, leading to problems once code was in production. DevOps promotes developing and deploying code as a team effort between devs and ops.
- Automating processes like configuration management, continuous integration, deployment and monitoring helps align dev and ops goals and allows more frequent, lower-risk deployments. Tools like Puppet, Chef, Jenkins and Nagios are mentioned.
- The document advocates for practices like test-driven
Continuous Delivery for Cross-Platform Mobile Apps
The Cross-Platform Build Pipeline
• Check in code
• Run a build (compile)
• Run tests - Mocha, or Jasmine and Protractor after build
• Run Cordova build
• Create binary deployable files -> APK, IPA, XAP file (platform binaries)
• Deploy platform binary to a emulator
• Run functional tests on the emulator -> Espresso from Google, mock wire
• Signing or packaging
• Submit to test store (internal, beta testing)
• Send emails to beta testers with links to the app
