This book is a treasure trove of information. More importantly than just teaching tips and tricks on gamification or showing flashy examples of it implemented well, it dives in to the history and psychology of why it works - changing your mindset while arming your tool belt. A great read for anyone in product.

"I made my way from working in games to software, and was curious about the takes this book would have. It was delightful to see the authors really have a great knowledge of games and where they came from. Lots of examples that are "gamer" approved, and a great perspective on the success and pitfalls of gaming and gamification."

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.

Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
