Excellent! Most IT-oriented tutorial books only tell you how to use the software, what are the usage of the buttons, or how to make some special effects, and things like that. This one is NOT. First, it does tells you about technical like how to install and what the buttons / terms are for. Second, it tells about the process of game design, so readers are encouraged to not just copy games they like but also (hopefully) able to see how those games work, what make them fun, and replicate the fun. Third, it tells example of how to make certain games-- not just in technical sense but also what considered the main cores of such games and why. Lastly, construct 2 itself is easy to pick up, doesn't need to know programming before hand, and portable to mobile since it use HTML 5. I really recommend this for people both of those who start in game development and professionals that looking for insight -- even if they still considering to move to construct 2. ;)

Best Book To Learn Construct2 Game Development. It contains great Example games and each chapter shows how to build a new game. This book even contains different data storage options, publishing etc. I would recommend everyone who wants to learn construct2 to get this book.. It's really helpful.. :)

The first part of the book deals with getting Construct up and running on your system, getting things properly configured, and introduces some of the basic terminology that a user of Construct should be familiar with.Following the introduction, we are given modules corresponding to basic game types such as breakout, platform-esque games, physics puzzle games, shoot-em-ups, etc.These modules are the vehicle in which the author attempts to convey the different concepts in Construct such as data structures, physics, mobile development, etc. As such, a reader is not only familiarized with the aforementioned concepts but also gains an appreciation for their application.The book takes a very hands-on approach and the reader is presumably expected to follow the examples at their computer in order to get the most of the book.Construct beginners will find this book to be a educational and enlightening read but advanced users who have gone through most of the manual will most likely not benefit significantly from this book.
