Who Am I?


Hi, I'm David Conger. I've been in the computer industry since 1981, when I took my first professional programming contract shortly after entering college. Most of my career has been focused on graphics, games, and network programming. After graduating from college, I wrote firmware for graphics display controllers used on military aircraft. After that, I taught college-level programming classes for several years. My next career change enabled me to attain my long-standing goal of becoming a professional game programmer. I wrote games for American Laser Games, For Her Interactive Inc., and Microsoft Corporation.

I started writing books in 1987. My first book was a collection of folktales from the Far East and India retold for Western children. Since then, I've written a fairly steady stream of computer books.

I play way too many games. If it wasn't for my wife and kids, I would hardly ever visit reality.

I have a lot of experience in computer graphics, games, writing, and teaching. I want to help you to get into game programming as fast and painlessly as possible. Game programming lets you get paid for being a programmer, designer, artist, composer, and general nutcase.

So read on and have fun. That's what games are for.
