Series review: Digital Entrepreneurship in the Age of Apps, the Web, and Mobile Devices"These how-to titles lead teens through building a digital business. Each volume uses real-world examples from current Internet companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Netflix to explain the various steps involved in building a website, blog, app, etc. The set follows a natural pattern of conceiving an idea, development, marketing, and growing a business but each one could be read as a stand-alone title. Sidebars contain anecdotes, even more examples of products and innovations, practical advice, and 'Myths and Facts.' ... The extensive bibliographies offer an array of resources for enthusiasts."
