What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This book is very well written. It teaches you the basics of Unreal engine. Before you can really utilize this book, you need to first get Unreal 4, and also Microsoft Visual Studio. This book is focused on the coding side of UE4, and touches very little on BluePrints and the likes. Though this book is aimed at beginners, it will help you very much if you already know the basics of C++. Great book for the price! It really helped me begin programming in UE4. (Be warned, though. While this book is still UE$, It is engine version 4.8 or some older version. The current engine build is 4.10.1, so a bit has changed. You will need to figure that out yourself.) If you are unsure where to start with Unreal 4, get this book!

I have been waiting a long time to write this review. I wanted my review to be as good as this book was for me.This book is a gift from god to me!I have tried learning C++ from other books, but they are all too boring for me. They usually have a dry writing stile packed full of jargon and too few human language, or are full of boring projects.This book from William has a very very plesant flow of conversation which is very human and has less jargon than any other book I have seen. For example, the way he explains iterators:"You can also use an iterator to walk over the elements of the array one by one, as shown in the following code" (pg 197)Also the way he explains pointers is perfect: No explanation at all, just making an example which doesnt require any explanation about it.I do not care that iterators and pointers are treated supeficially on this book, because I am a beginner in C++ and I dont care about deep s*** which cannot make your life practical. I want just a key concept explained in a obvious way, and later if I am interested, I dig somewhere deeper.I can say that the didatic style of this book is more than answersome, and I would like to see another book written by William Sherif soon!Maybe a complete game developed on SFML or something like this?In general, I would like to see William Sherif added as a "didactics advisor" of any book written for programming languages... I bet he would make a more than great job on that!The only thing I didnt like about the book is using MS Visual Studio, a bloatware with 4 GB to be installed, and the huge UE engine which is also several GBs. I only have a very slow computer and horrible internet connection, so I was more than refusing to install VS and UE engine, so I just downloaded CodeBlocks, which is only 20mb, and skipped all UE part of the book (except chapter 8 teaching STL). I use now SFML (a multimedia library) to make fun Projects, and I am perfectly happy with that... No Need to download the UE engine and I can still have fun :)

This is a book that creates simple to learn bridge between learning a complex language and applying that knowledge to creating a game in Unreal Engine 4, which can have a steep learning curve. Learning C++ by Creating Games with UE4 was like a breath of fresh air. I must admit, I'm not a beginner to C++, but I read it as if I was; and from that perspective, it's a tremendously helpful book. Even if you already know C++, but don't know Unreal Engine 4, you will at the end of this book. But after all, the book's primary focus it to teach C++, and secondarily teach you Unreal Engine 4. I love the way William Sherif uses analogies to describe principles of the c++ language, then apply that same principle to the UE4 environment.After the first initial chapters spent in the syntax of C++, William gets right into learning the ropes, but gives great encouragement along the way. In addition, his tips are timely and valuable, not just fluff. I feel like I'm a much better C++ programmer and can now script great games in the Unreal Engine 4 because I chose to read this book. I'm hoping to release my first Unreal Engine 4 game soon. Thanks William!

This is a good introduction to C++, but much of the Unreal Engine specific code in now out of date and many of the chapters cannot be completed with recent versions.

Learning C++ by creating games with UE4: Learn C++ programming with a fun, real-world application that allows you to create your own games!
