I use this book when I'm following video tutorials. It definitely helps. The book is easy to read and understand. The Print quality looks good and clear. I use a yellow highlighter and highlight parts that I feel are important. This is definitely a good book to have for beginners.

This book is geared for the beginner, and it does an excellent job teaching. I found that the real-world examples were great! Even though I am not a beginner I wound up learning a lot from the information he provides. This book is a great book to have in your arsenal!!

Nicholas Lydon Nov 17, 2023

I am currently teaching myself how to code C# as my very first language in the hopes of using the Unity game engine to create indie video games. As such, this book has been an absolute godsend of helpful information. Whether you're just trying to learn to code or strictly want to deepen your knowledge of Unity, I can't recommend this book enough!

Yenny B. Apr 18, 2023

This book is an excellent resource for people trying to get into game development from absolute zero. The author puts extra emphasis on getting you started from the very basics and giving detailed information on how to set up the environment, something which most people overlook but can be specially scary for starters. You will have no trouble getting started with code as the author assumes nothing and takes you in every step of the process, even providing updated screenshots of every step.When it comes to C#, this book gives a good explanation of OOP concepts and more importantly, it distinguishes C# from the actual concept of OOP. The explanations are thorough and very good. He also gives you an explanation of how OOP is used inside Unity, which is useful to demystify the inner workings of it. Again, the author assumes nothing when it comes to C# and takes you from zero to hero, the concepts explained in the last parts of the book (Linq, Generics, Delegates, Serialization, etc...) will really empower you to get your hands dirty with C# and understand actual code used in actual games, provided you are willing to spend time writing code of your own. Keep in mind that there are a lot of programming concepts that you will have to keep learning on your own if you wanna become an actual expert, and it would take an entire encyclopedia to get there.I really like that the author gives an explanation of Serializing data since it helps the reader understand one of the most important concepts of a game and it is saving data. I mean it is good to know how to make games but most people never play the whole thing in one go so persisting data is essential to the whole process. Additionally, it explains what JSON and XML are, which is important since those are two very important standards when it comes to data handling.On the Unity side of things I think the examples are relevant to what the reader is trying to achieve, which is to make simple 3D games. This book is written for someone who wants to learn the coding side of game development and is not an all in one knowledge base, so keep that in mind. However, it is really useful for people who want to demystify the C# aspect of Unity, so if you're a designer trying to learn to code, a novice programmer, or just someone who wants to take a first step in Unity, this is an excellent resource for you!

With intermediate knowledge of Unity, this book provides detailed information on various concepts of the Unity Engine and C# scripting. It offers in-depth knowledge of C#, especially for individuals interested in game development. I would recommend this book to first-time readers who want to gain more knowledge on aspects of programming and design.
