MonoGame Mastery : Build a Multi-Platform 2D Game and Reusable Game Engine

Jarred Capellman has been professionally developing software for over 13 years and is a Director of Engineering at SparkCognition in Austin, Texas. He started making QBasic text-based games when he was nine years old. He learned C++ a few years later before studying OpenGL with the eventual goal of entering the gaming industry. Though his goal of professionally developing games didn’t come to fruition, he continued deep diving into frameworks such as MonoGame, Vulkan, and DirectX as an important part of his free time. When not programming, he enjoys writing music and is working on his DSc in Cybersecurity, focusing on applying Machine Learning to security threats.

Louis Salin has been a developer for more than 15 years in a wide variety of fields, developing on Windows in the early days in C, C++, and eventually C# before working as a developer on Linux-based web applications using different scripting languages, such as Ruby or Python. His early love for coding comes from all the time he spent as a kid copying video games written in Basic from books borrowed from the library. He wrote his first game in high school and took many classes in computer graphics.
