This is a book that all beginners to Unity MUST HAVE. This book takes the concepts of Unity development, spoon feeds the user what he / she needs to know, and builds up each chapter based on the last. You will learn very quickly how to design, program, and thoroughly enjoy Unity game development. Especially useful are the ends of each section that "test" what has been learned. The game examples are fantastic, and the final chapters delve into some very advanced topics.

I never got past the first chapter, where I was to import "assets" it didn't work. After repeated emails, I finally got an email from the author, with cryptic instructions that didn't work. Why not put a chapter on setting up the environment before getting into the other stuff. The authors response seemed to assume I had some experience with this tool, which I don't.So far a big waste of money.
