    Hi all,

    I just now installed Unity, and I have an interest in making a turn based strategy game in it. I had previously been doing well in Cocos2d and Objective C, but C# is my native language I've been working with for years.

    I am looking for a good book to order that can guide me through rapidly learning Unity 2D. I am interested in learning how to create the UI, setup sprites with animation, create tile maps with animated tiles, and managing audio. If I can learn those basics quickly, I would be very happy. Can anyone recommend any good books on Unity 2d development?

    Thank you for this suggestion. I went ahead and ordered this book to get started learning. I am also trying to find a book on the 2D Tool Kit, as I think it will help me with tile maps and animated tiles. Can you recommend any for that?
