Took a risk on this book, was unsure given the price.I’ve spent similar on a different book that just left me lost. However, this book, despite having not completed it, I find goes at a nice pace.There’s enough breakdown to give you understanding without overwhelming you with information.There’s a need to research some basic terminology used, but its not anything that isn’t automatically answered by Google.I already feel comfortable navigating Unity and interpreting .cs scripts, and the basic tools within code.I’ve put a few hours into this, and its made clear questions I’ve failed to have answered from YT and google previously.I’m excited to put more time into reading and applying the lessons in this book.10/10 Recommend to everyone.

This is a great resource to both learning C# and game development at the same time, making the whole endeavor of learning how to program a fun and rewarding experience. It's thorough and entertaining, and I really wish I had it when I was starting out - I will certainly leverage this content when I teach intro to C# and/or intro to game programming!

David Jun 29, 2022

If you're a c# amateur or a complete noob, this book is exactly what you're looking for.It's well written, engaging, and covers a huge range of topics without getting too far in the weeds.This is the third c# / unity book that I've purchased, and it's the first that's really helped me make any progress.

Scott B. Dec 29, 2021

I've tried to start programming more than once, mostly with Python and a little C++, but the content never seems to stick. Getting to make a simple game while learning to code was just the ticket in my case. Great resource, tons of fun, and gets you ready for the world of programming!

If you were to look at any recommended list of books to learn C# Programming from, this book appears on all of them and for good reason. There are better resources for learning Unity. That isn't the point of this book. It's giving you something more interesting to learn C# on than the endless console apps that the other tutorials use. You will make a game, but it's not teaching you game development. What you're getting here is a solid grounding in programming fundamentals which can take you anywhere in your dev journey, whether it be as a professional or hobbyist.Concepts are explained clearly, and I really like how when a new term is introduced, it gives you 3 definitions. A conceptual, a technical, and a practical. Some of us have trouble absorbing material from one perspective, so having multiple ways of thinking about these items really helps you drive home each aspect as they're introduced. Then you use what you've learned while creating your game.If like me, you're interested in the game dev side of things, the exposure to Unity is going to be a great bonus to keep you motivated, and what you learn here will be invaluable in every project you ever work on. You'll need other resources to really take advantage of everything the Unity engine can do for you, but you'll have solid proficiency in C# when you get there, and that's what sets great developers apart from merely competent ones.
