Another major site drops HTML5 from their mobile apps (via @venturebeat)

LinkedIn follows Facebook’s lead and goes back to native mobile apps. Their reasons are interesting, saying it’s more about ecosystem (specifically dev and metric tools) than performance-though memory use was highlighted, and I’d lump that under perfomance.

Prasad: There are a few things that are critically missing. One is tooling support — having a debugger that actually works, performance tools that tell you where the memory is running out.

Version Control in Games

I gave a high level introduction to using Version Control in Game Dev at
the local Gamedev Community meetup last week. Thanks to some technical
glitches (and my overdependance on SourceTree.. time to focus on terminal
git for a while :)) it didn’t go quite as planned.

The focus was specifically on Git and Unity, and I thought it would be
worth posting the deck and linking to the GitHub repo I set up for the
purpose of the demo:

The presentation slides:

The repo:

https://github.com/mattbenic/SourceControlInGameDev

The only thing of real value in that repo is the .gitignore file, which is
a good starting template for use in Unity projects (it ignores some basic
system files, and some of the common Unity generated files).
