    Sooo, I'm really interested in learning XML to use with C# and Unity but I really don't know where to start from :/ I searched for some online tutorials but I prefer an actual book, not some pixels xD. Is there any book that combines XML and C# and some useful tutorials ?
    Excuse me if this the wrong Forum "sector" to ask this question :D.

    No. At least none that I'm aware of and even if I were aware of one I wouldn't recommend it. Books that try to teach multiple subjects are generally a bad idea for the simple fact that you can't easily fit multiple technical subjects into one manual and hope to have them covered adequately. At least not without the book being insanely thick.

    I have an older edition of the following C# book. It's nearly 1400 pages.

    https://www.amazon.com/Pro-NET-Core-Andrew-Troelsen/dp/1484230175/

    One of the more recent books covering XML is nearly 800 pages.

    https://www.amazon.com/Definitive-XML-Schema-Priscilla-Walmsley/dp/0132886723/

    Combine the two of these and try to add tutorials on top of it... you'd end up with at least 2500 pages. It would simply be too impractical to carry around and make use of. I can barely make use of the first book now and that's way smaller.

    The first one you mention is a really practical book that tought me many things. It's really a shame that there are no books covering those two subjects. Anyway thanks for your help :D
