"A very easy-to-read book. It is a kind of encyclopedia telling about the origins of 'indie' and their subsequent development. You will find numerous successful and failed projects, the stories of which can be useful not only for modern developers but also for those who are just looking at this professional field. The tale of the fates of many developers will help to view your mistakes through the prism of colleagues' experiences." — Vladimir Varennik, Ph.D., founder of the Indie Go developer community, managing partner of the Indie Go Fund
