Getting Started

sorry all I need help from you guys … here I’m still a noob when it comes to programming but obviously I know one thing: if you want to make a game we should be able to master the programming language .
well here I was very hard to understand about all type, layout etc in the programming language C #
I hope one of you can help me by giving advice or a book that I could learn

Tried the yellow book by Robert Miles? It’s not a Unity book, but it’s a great intro to C#

My book Unity in Action is good if you already know the basics of programming, but it sounds like you need to learn that too.

This is a link for Robert Mile’s site. I think the 2012 c# book is a free ebook:

If you like the unconventional teaching style, I can recommend Head First C# .
It’s not a Unity book either, but imo you should learn C# first, then learn Unity.

Do you have a technical or university bookstore near where you live? Barnes and Noble should have some of these books also. It makes it easier to be able to look at various C# books in person to see what the teaching style is like.

A nice companion for any other C# book is this one by Mark Michaelis. One of the authors (Eric Lippert) was part of MIcrosoft C# compiler team / C# language design team. In each section that have parts indicated as beginner topic and advanced topic. It also covers various versions of C# also.

Essential C# 6.0
ISBN: 978-0134141046

Eric also has a C# reading list of books (it is a bit dated from 2011) but it gives you a good idea of what the looks for in C# books.

Eric also had a blog while at Microsoft called Fabulous Adventures In Coding which is also good reading.
You can get an idea of topics and his style of writing by reading his blog.

Another alternative Unity book which has good C# coverage is this one.

Introduction to Game Design, Prototyping and Development: From Concept to Playable Game with Unity and C#
ISBN: 978-0321933164
