[Ali]

Hi to all I saw a post recently on net where they were saying that the game development is a multi billion $$ business...is it really...??

Are apps developer and game developer are same....??

What steps are should be taken to enter himself in game and apps development??

Kindly discuss this and guide me I saw this because I study this that If we are good at game development and apps development then 90% are chances are that you can create your own company as this gives you a big money $$$$ in return like through popular sites..facebook and so on.

I'm not sure about the billion dollar thing but there's a good chance that's true. It's all growing extrremely fast! As far as how to get into makig games and apps the best way is to go to a college that has a major that deals with specifically game development or graphic design/animation type things. Even taking just a few classes at a community colege and learning to code will really help with making simple apps or even games like in flash.
