Great book that offers good, structured lessons
I purchased this book for my son (12, now 13) who has been learning game development and general programming over the last couple years. His general approach has been to watch a couple YouTube videos then jump into creating an overly complex game, until he gets stuck and abandons the project…. vicious cycle). I get it. Learning to crawl is boring, running is so much more exciting! But I digress. With his strong desire to learn C# and Unity, this book seemed perfect. Step by step, he read through each chapter. I encouraged him to make sure he was actually coding along with each step so that he was actually learning it, and he did. I’ve worked in C# for many years, so I was able to coach him along with the book. Overall great buy, this provides a solid starting point for both C# and Unity.
Excellent Resource
The book is an excellent resource for teaching the basics of C# with Unity being a complementary environment to learn each lesson rather than the other way around. I think a lot of students learn how to use an engine with less emphasis on how to actually program so this actually puts more emphasis on learning how to program versus how to use an engine!
Starts off good, ends not so good
I think the book is fine as an introduction. However, past chapter 6 the author stops teaching and just straight up shows you the code. How am I supposed to learn when I’m just copying the author? He explains why he did it, but I simply don’t think that’s a way to teach. Have you ever learned something new by just reading how it was done. After chapter 6 he also stops doing the challenges that require you TO try things. Tons of typos too, which sometimes can be annoying. One time there was a typo in the example and I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out why my code wasn’t working and I realized it was a typo. But, he has a discord and answers any questions you have. I’d recommend you try the book but I’m not sure it’s the best one out there. Worst case you waste $30 as I’m sure you’ll learn something.
Overly describes the basics, then breezes past lots of details on the more complicated stuff
Its a pretty solid book. The examples are ugly which I donât like is a visual artist. Seems like he couldâve paid someone to make models instead of using primitive objects. Honestly, I wouldnât get this book until I did the unity pathways to success, the unity free tutorials on their webpage. I think I may have returned this book. But thatâs only because Iâm a minimalist.
Excellent book, great for both beginner and intermediate coders!
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!
Great reference book for a beginner
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.
Yay
Its good
Great resource for beginners and for anyone who wants to start game dev
I loved how pretty flexible you can get with this book. Whether you’re a beginner in coding or not, you can use this book as a great resource to introduce yourself to game dev for all levels of programming. I found the pop quizzes at the end of each chapter a good way to refresh your knowledge after reading each chapter. This book is also a great thing to have on the side as a reference if you’re following along with other youtube tutorials. Overall, pretty solid book.
Libro che mi sta aiutando tantissimo per imparare c#
Bon livre
Impressão com muita qualidade. Conteúdo 5 estrelas
There are many books on how to learn coding. Many of them throw you in at the deep end and assume that you already know topics x, y and z.This book is different. It’s great in terms of didactics. It uses a systematical approach, which only references something you have learned previously in the book. The author is able to teach complex topics to people without prior coding knowledge.If you want to learn Unity and C# as your first language, I recommend to start with this book.
The author’s content is fantastic 10 out of 10 Harrison Ferrone ! , however the publishing company have cut corners with the print quality as such you are unable to see any of the text from the images, a real letdown!I’m aware that the pdf ( ebook ) is in full colour and is free to download upon purchasing the book, but having paid a fair amount for a book I expect the print to be readable!I won’t be purchasing any other books from Packt publishing!
