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

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 :slight_smile:

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 :slight_smile:

Excellent, I did not know about the Head First C# 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 :open_mouth:

9

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

10

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.

11

And C# is cake. True story.

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 :slight_smile:

You can download it from Rob Miles website: C# Yellow Book — robmiles.com
