Welcome to the world of mobile game development! Whether you are a seasoned developer or a fresh new developer, you are in an exciting fast-paced industry. You have purchased this book expecting to master iOS game development, and that's exactly what you are going to do by the end of this book! However, you need to start somewhere, right?
