You can't just waltz into game development if you have an enterprise .NET background. Trust me, I've tried. Both the tooling and the use of C# differs from what you're used to. Use this book as your guide and see .NET from a whole different perspective!If you're a newbie, the book offers step-by-step guides and walkthroughs.

This book was an excellent read! As a .net developer for the last 20 years who is working on breaking into the Game Development sector of the industry, this book was chock full of knowledge that allowed me to pick up on the new Unity concepts while utilizing my .net expertise.In the first few chapters, the book covers what Unity is and why you want to use it, how scripting works in unity, and the lifecycle of the Unity script processing pipeline. In the next part of the book, there are several chapters covering UI, animations, Physics, and audio/video concepts, as well as touching on a few performance tips. In the third part of the book more advanced topics are covered. Topics include game math, render pipelines, shaders, renderers, Unity's DOTS system, and serialization and assets management. The final chapter deals with utilizing Microsoft's cloud offerings via Azure for game development and assets management in Unity.I found this book well written and useful and I recommend it to any .net engineer looking to learn Unity!

I really enjoyed the author's approach in writing this book and especially the inclusion of Azure cloud services.The book felt well ordered and precise in the sections as you start from the beginning. When things are set up so well I can't argue with calling it an ultimate guide and I hope the author continues his approach in future publications.At not time did I feel lost and the amount that is covered can really help you get from point A to point B if you're genuinely trying to learn about Unity game development!

This book has covered most topics with detailed information and easy examples. The description of the patterns, graphic mathematics, UI Performance, and unity usage process make learning the concepts easy.This book is good for learning about Unity programming using C# and preparing you to create games.

Jeffrey Chilberto Jun 08, 2022

What a gem!I've been an indie dev for the past 6 years or so and pieced together my understanding from blogs and online docs. This book has gone a long way to help me make sense of Unity and how all the pieces fit.This book would be great for new Unity devs as well as those wanting to expand their knowledge. I suggest you have some understanding of C# before you begin. Though the script examples are not complex, it is not a C# primer.If I had this resource earlier, it could have saved me many frustrating hours. The great thing is with the new things I have learned, I am inspired to try out some new things!I have learned a lot from Jiadong's book and look forward to future publications. Thanks!
