GAME DEVELOPMENT FOR SOFTWARE ENGINEERS
Week-long workshop offered through MIT’s Short Programs.
COURSE SUMMARY
Digital games pose greater challenges than business software projects of similar scope due to complexities in prototyping, testing, and platform variability. Game developers are thus required to exercise more flexibility in software specifications and functionality. Professionals have to modify their approaches to design and team management while keeping abreast of broad changes to technology such as cloud computing, mobility, and tools.
