What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

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!
