Suggest some C# books to learn Unity

Hi.
I know that Unity is built in C#. I want to learn C# for unity. When I look for books, I only find books that deal with .net web examples. Please suggest me some books that deal with the fundamentals of C# comprehensively for Unity and not for web development.

Please note that I do not want a book that focuses on Unity and discusses C# as accessory. Rather, I want a book that focuses on C# and discusses unity as the platform.

Best regards.

 

OMG Unity is BUILT IN C#

 

BTW you will have better luck with online tuts rather than books

 

No. Unity is built with C++. It uses C# as a scripting language.

@mnua801 I'm not aware of any books that specifically deal with C# in Unity. You have options like the yellow book, that deals with C# in general, and is very good. You also have books like Unity in Action that deal with an intro to Unity. But I'm not aware of one with the narrow focus you desire.

 

Don't know any C#? Start here.
Know a little C#? Start here.
Know a lot of C#? Start here.

For everything else, there is Google.

 

Somebody on reddit posted these two free books, I found them quite useful. The second one is kinda more advanced though.

Learning C# Programming With Unity 3D - by Alex Okita

 

I'd strongly recommend The Yellow Book by Rob Miles, as already suggested by @BoredMormon. It's teaches general programming practices and approaches using C# as the language. It is not specific to Unity, but that's ok because learning programming shouldn't be specific to Unity. (That might sound like a shortcut, but it just makes life harder in the long run.)

 

Thanks everybody for your kind support. I really appreciate it.

 

It is a weird topic because there are definitely fundamentals you can learn from a C# book, but so much of the actual functionality of making a game is specific to games. My opinion is you are better off using videos from Brakys and Bergzurg to learn Unity C# scripting, and then at the same time you will pick up some of the more basic programming principles. For me at least, the Unity stuff is far more complicated, but the general programming stuff you just pick up along the way.

 

lol I knew that. Didn't you got it from how my post was?

 

Not really. If something is meant to be taken sarcastically it helps to put on a smiley face of some sort. Like this

 

C# Complete - This book may look like a major overkill for beginners, but I personally I found it useful for making games in Unity

 

i got "C# in a nutshell: the definitive reference" pretty good... not for beginners, more a reference for while working on code
