Thoughts on these books ?

Hello world !

I'm just starting with learning unity and i thought that buying a book would help me, so i did some researches and found out a bunch of them talking about different aspects of the game development, from the basic tutorials and scripting basic knowledge to the advanced level ones, and like i said, being a beginner my self, i kept looking for the ones that will suit me the most and i found these two books :

• Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping, and Development: From Concept to Playable Game with Unity and C#
• Mastering Unity Scripting

So my questions are the following :

• Are these 2 books good for someone like me ?
• Have anyone read one of those, or the 2 of them, so he can give me his thoughts about them ?
• Do i have to get the 2 of them, or only the first will help me (since it's a general guide) ?
• Do you know any other books i must have a look at other than these 2 ?

Money is not a problem as long as the books would help me, but i won't really go with buying more that 2/3

Thank you !

 

Check out your local library to see if they have a SafariBooksOnline subscription. Then you can check those books out for free. If they don't, safaribooksonline has a free trial.

 

The problem is more like which books to look at than how to look at them
But thank you anyway

 

The manual has pretty much everything you need.
