I have a digital copy of this book and is very comprehensive for beginners. Harrison teaches the reader the fundamentals of Unity and C# programming language. He gives easy to understand examples that the reader could easily comprehend. I highly recommend this book if you’re starting your Unity game developer journey.

I've been developing in C# for around 8 years and used Unity wayyy back in Unity 4.x. I've expanded my knowledge of C# (amongst other languages) considerably and decided to pick this book up (e-book) as I haven't used Unity since then.Harrison has done a wonderful job of introducing C# throughout the book while putting together a game which explains the various operations of Unity. The first couple of chapters can be skipped (or skimmed) if you are already familiar with the language but covers everything you need to know to get started with Unity.After that, he takes you through each individual aspect of making a game. This includes explaining all the various UI elements to Unity itself, handling projectiles and collision, world building, the Unity component system, saving and loading... everything you need to know to get started building the game you want to create. Throughout the book, Harrison adds more C# knowledge/features to continue expanding on what was introduced in the first few chapters.This is a great book that I would recommend to not only complete beginners but anyone who is looking to make the most out of Unity.

Starting out in a career of coding and making games is a daunting challenge in this day and age. In order for you to be successful, you need the right tools and the right learnings to get you on a successful path. This book was sent to me as a free copy, but I would have easily made the financial commitment even after just looking through the summary.In short, you have a comprehensive guide to learning C# while getting familiar with the industry standard Unity engine. This is a powerful combination, which the author uses to help you build up your skills in game development with practical lessons and engaging writing. Even if you are relatively new to coding, you can use this book to get you started, because the author doesn't assume you're a technical expert but uses a very hands-on approach to every aspect of C# and helps you make the best use of Unity to create interesting games.I am going to come back to this book quite often in my gaming career and while I might use other tools or languages at some point, the foundations of not only C# but logical thinking and game making carry over into many applications. They update this book often as you can see this is the 7th edition, which gives me confidence that this book is up to date with modern standards and will stay relevant for years to come.
