While Game Design and Development: Code, Psychology and Analytics (Paperback) makes several valuable points about programming, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of game analytics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to game analytics. That said, the sections on analytics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in game analytics, this could be a truly outstanding work.
