Gr 9 Up-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 captioned color photos are a mix of profiled entrepreneurs in action and stock images. The extensive bibliographies offer an array of resources for enthusiasts. The listings of pertinent organizations where readers can learn more are also helpful. α(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
