Herbert Wolverson @herbert has a new article on Medium about getting started with Rust game development where he talks about the available engines and cool things people are building, including the author’s own Nox Futura game where you are an AI trying to keep colonists alive on a new planet.

Strangely, that plot is very similar to a book series I just finished by J.N. Chaney called Orion Colony (very good).

There’s also a promo code available for his book with the Medium article, which is available now in ebook format and will be in print later in June. If you are holding out for the print book, please support your local independent bookstore – they can order any book that PragProg publishes for you.

Ed Burnette, author of Hello, Android (4th Edition) has a new article on Medium called
My Zombie: Harnessing Your Untapped Potential.

You can also read Hello Android and most other in-print books from PragProg directly on Medium (with an annual subscription). Very recent titles won’t be there, as we wait until the print version has been out for at least 3 months before posting the book as a series of Medium articles.

Staffan Nöteberg @staffannoteberg wrote an article for us about monotasking, which is also the topic of his new book with S&S. The Pomodoro Technique, Staffan’s book with The Pragmatic Bookshelf, has become an all-time classic, and even more relevant these days with everyone working from home.
