Are there any suggestion on a good book for learning C# (sharp) with Unity? Thank you for any assistance!
Try this one, it is real good: C# 2010 All-in-One For Dummies http://www.amazon.com/C-2010-All-On...TF8&coliid=I1R5F3TKJVDXAB&colid=3DG49YNKO5XRI I'm learning C# with this book plus the DVD's from 3DBuzz.com.
I like O'Reilley's "Learning C#" (more language-oriented) by Jesse Liberty, but "Head First C#" (more game-oriented examples) also is tempting. Neither book teaches you about Unity, but with C# squared away you'll be able to do more with Unity in less time and the work will be much easier. The Unity API docs are great and there's a wealth of Unity tutorials out there to choose from.
I'm a fan of the head first books, as their stuff hooks much better in head than the dry scientific stuff and they are a great way to learn the core and base of a new topic. They aren't suitable as reference books etc but such a book would be totally unfriendly to someone new to the topic also in case of unity where you don't want to learn indepth about the frameworks or even worse Forms, its an even better better book
I'm looking for a book as well and I saw some good comment online about this one Essential C# 4 http://www.amazon.com/Essential-4-0-Microsoft-NET-Development/dp/0321694694/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287515344&sr=8-1 what makes it interesting for me is that it is a book about C# and not about c# in ASP.net or XNA, etc... just c#. So it may be more down to the point and you take what you learn of C# and use it with Unity/Monodevelop. Didn't buy it yet .
thanks.. the head first one looks good. I have experience with Python and a fair amount in Processing. My quick assumption is that C# is pretty necessary for Unity. The desire is to integrate Unity into university curriculum for artists, so making C# as accessible as possible will be the goal.
C# in Depth - is definitely my favourite. [And v/high rated ] C# in Depth Second Edition comes out next week!!! EXCITING :O
homeandlearn.co.uk it teaches like 12 different languages 1 of them is C# it also teaches VB.net java javascript and some other crap all it needs is C++ and Python to be perfect
While I strongly prefer C# for working with Unity, I wanted to clarify that necessary somewhat overstates the case, as it's also possible to use UnityScript and Boo for scripting.
I would recommend Rob Miles' book, CSharp Yellow Book 2010. It can be freely downloaded. It's not a gaming oriented book, but it gives a very good basic knowlodge of c#....and it's free You can download it from Rob Miles website: http://www.robmiles.com/c-yellow-book/ Delfo
