An interview with author Harrison Ferrone What’s new in this fifth edition of Learning C# by Developing Games with Unity?

We’ve updated all project files for the new Unity 2020 release and added an extra chapter covering intermediate C# collection types, including Stacks, Queues, and HashSets.

How can this book help you learn C# and Unity?

The book is written with someone new to programming and Unity in mind, so we start from the very beginning and build up to more advanced topics. The book’s approach and structure focus on eliminating all assumptions about the reader, so we cover many topics that are left out by other instructional material that’s available.

What was your objective in writing the book? And what are the key takeaways for readers?

My main objective for writing this book was to create a resource that I would have wanted when I started learning to program.

There are two key takeaways from this book: First, anyone can learn to program, and second, programming is a muscle – the only way to get better is to exercise it.

What makes this book different from other ‘Learn C# with Unity’ books?

Many of the resources, tutorials, and textbooks that I used to learn how to program made assumptions about basic concepts that weren’t clearly fully explained, leading to hours of independent searches for answers.

I also wanted to write a book that stayed with the basics and didn’t try and throw too much at the reader. I’d say this focus leads to a much better end product and learning experience.
