Miscommunication and misunderstandings are common as these two disciplines often use the same words to mean different things when they talk to each other. Unintentional slights can turn into long-held grudges and productivity grinds to a crawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \"flip book\" that contains two narratives in one. Turn the book one way and read one perspective; turn the book over and upside down and read the other perspective. The narratives can be read separately, one after the other, or in alternating chapters. \u003cstrong\u003eTalking to Artists \/ Talking to Programmers \u003c\/strong\u003ecan help anyone who wants to improve communication with artists and programmers. It's set up like a foreign language dictionary, so it addresses the cultural norms, attitudes and customs surrounding the words each group uses, so you'll know not just what the words in the glossary mean, you'll know why they're used that way and how to get communication flowing again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt addresses common reasons for communication problems between these two groups and provides specific suggestions for solutions.

The whole book stresses the things artists and programmers have in common. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocused primarily on videogame developers, it also applies to other fields where tech and art have to work together, including web developers and teams building mobile apps.
