Harrison Ferrone’s book is a fantastic introduction to design patterns for Unity developers. Right from the basics, like the difference between software architecture and software design, to advanced patterns such as Visitor and Decorator, Ferrone guides you with clarity and enthusiasm. The examples are relevant and explained in a way that builds a solid understanding without overwhelming the reader. I especially appreciated how he addresses common pitfalls with each pattern, which is often overlooked in technical books. It’s a well-organised guide for game developers wanting to produce clean, maintainable, and scalable code in Unity.

I received this as an ebook. This book is great for learning C# design patterns to have clean code and optimize your code. I really like how Harrison gives examples how to use each design patterns and pushes the envelope on what you could do with the patterns.He also presents the pros and cons of each pattern. Advising how to use each pattern. Then he teaches you how to program each pattern.This is a must book to take your Unity, C# programming, and game developer skills to the next level!!!

“Learning Design Patterns with Unity” is a great book that offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and implementing design patterns in Unity. It is a great asset for beginners as an introduction to the most common problems and the best solutions you’d encounter as a Unity developer. It’s also a useful tool for advanced users wanting a refresher on patterns they might not encounter on a daily basis.The author, Harrison Ferrone, has done an excellent job presenting these solutions with near real world scenarios that can be quickly retrofitted in your own game. I can actually say many of my common solutions for game jams or even at work, are similar to what we see here, showing that the code can indeed work in the real world, which is also very useful and encouraging for applying what you learn directly on your own projects. Ferrone’s writing style is engaging and easy to follow, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced developers.This book will undoubtedly enhance your coding skills and inspire you to write better, more efficient code. Happy reading! 📚
