It's the ability to write custom C# scripts for behaviors and game mechanics that really takes Unity the extra mile. That's where this book will help you as a new programmer!Harrison Ferrone, in this eighth edition of the bestselling series, will take you through the core concepts of programming and the C# language from scratch, while building an engaging and playable game prototype in Unity 6.You’ll get to grips with the fundamentals of object-oriented programming (OOP) and the Unity engine with lots of code samples, exercises, and tips to go beyond the book with your work. You’ll write C# scripts for simple game mechanics, perform procedural programming, request live data from the web, and add complexity to your games by introducing intelligent enemies and damage-dealing projectiles. You’ll also explore the underlying mechanics of Unity game development, including game design, lighting basics, player movement, camera controls, collisions, and more, with every passing chapter.Note: The screenshots in the book display the Unity Editor in full-screen mode for a comprehensive view. You can easily reference color versions of images by downloading them from the GitHub repository or the graphics bundle linked in the book.

Network Automation Cookbook, now in its second edition, is your essential guide to building robust network automation workflows across modern hybrid infrastructures. Building on the foundation laid in the first edition, this version dives deeper into Ansible’s role in automating network infrastructure, expanding coverage to include modern use cases across enterprise and cloud networks.The book introduces Ansible’s core concepts, such as playbooks, inventories, variables, loops, and templates, and progresses to advanced topics such as parallelism, fact caching, custom filters, and modular design. You will automate real-world scenarios using Nokia SR, Cisco IOS, Juniper, and Arista devices in a fully reproducible virtual lab. The chapters also help you explore cloud automation for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, and integrate validation tools such as PyATS, Batfish, and Nautobot. New chapters cover event-driven automation, AWX for workflow execution, and Terraform integration. By using hands-on labs and fully reproducible recipes, you can practice real-world scenarios and reinforce your skills.By the end of this book, you’ll be well-equipped with the tools and workflows to automate infrastructure efficiently with Ansible.
