Reviews for Unity from Zero to Proficiency (Foundations) Fifth Edition
3 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Finally one "title" that possible read and understand. I am happy because is possible now "for me" create one great game. Thanks for make these series of books!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As a person that has been developing for years (more than I care to think about) I thought this would be a waste of time and started with one of Patrick's more advanced (but still basic) books. I soon realized that I was being overwhelmed by the lack of knowledge of the Unity interface and tools. This book has been great in helping me understand what and when I need to be doing something in the GUI.
