Video game development training.
To start a career as a Unity developer, you need not only to master the language and system, but also to have practical skills.
Start with simple 2D games like Tetris or flappy bird. Simple games are easier to implement alone, but they give you the skills to work with basic functions: loading scenes, creating a user interface, working with resources. Then you can move on to 3D games. Here, too, it is better to start with a simple one, gradually introducing new functions and changing the architecture of the game.

A novice developer working in a team managed by more experienced colleagues. Junior is most often assigned simple, uncritical tasks. At this level, an employee usually lasts 1-1.5 years, after which he is promoted to Middle. A Junior Game Developer must have the following competencies:
- have a good knowledge of C#;
- have experience developing in Unity, the portfolio should not be empty;
- basic knowledge in linear algebra (example);
- basic knowledge in 3D modeling.
An experienced specialist who is able to perform all the assigned work. Solves both critical and routine tasks. Has sufficient qualifications to manage juniors. All the basic Unity tools and technologies should be known to the middle developer. Many have been working at the middle level for years and decades. To become a seigneur, it takes great and purposeful efforts.
A programmer with the highest qualifications. It can perform any task within its set of technologies. The seniors have vast experience, a broad outlook, and often excellent management skills. It takes 6 to 8 years to grow from junior to senior.

Muller D. P. C# for dummies.
Even if you have never dealt with programming, this tutorial will help you master the C# language. From the book you will learn about C# constructs and operators, as well as key concepts of OOP implemented in the language.
C# 7 and .NET Core. Cross-platform development for professionals.
The book is more of an overview of the platform than a guide to it. Therefore, unfortunately, it is not suitable for "deep immersion" in .NET Core. But for beginners or programmers who already have experience with .NET Framework and want to master .NET Core, this book is an ideal option for a "quick start".
Unity and C#. Game dev from idea to implementation.
In addition to the standard introduction to C# (quite sensible) and examples of games (as many as 7 pieces), the book contains a unique section dedicated specifically to game design (what is called game design in English) - I do not know any other Russian-language books on this topic. The section for game designers occupies an honest third of the book and reflects the approaches to teaching this discipline by the author in US universities.
C# 7 programming language and platforms .NET and .NET Core.
The 8th edition of the book describes the functionality of the latest versions of C# and .NET, as well as Microsoft's cross-platform infrastructure.NET Core.
Skit. C# for professionals. The subtleties of programming.
"C# for Professionals: The Intricacies of Programming" (C# in Depth) is an update of the previous edition, which became a bestseller. The book offers unique insights into the complex areas and dark corners of the language. We recommend the third edition, it is usually cheaper, and it has a better translation.
C# 7.0. Directory. Full description of the language.
When you have questions about the C# 7.0 language or the CLR and the main assemblies.NET Framework, this guide will offer all the necessary answers.
C# 7.0. Pocket reference.
Unity in action. Multiplatform development in C#.
In this edition, attention is paid to the design of two-dimensional games, the fundamental concepts of which the reader can put into practice and build a complex two-dimensional platformer. This book can be safely called an introduction to Unity for professional programmers.
ASP.NET Core MVC 2 with C# examples for professionals.
In the 7th edition, the book has been updated taking into account the version ASP.NET Core MVC 2. It contains detailed explanations of Core MVC functionality, which allows developers to release more cost-effective, cloud-optimized and mobile-ready applications for the .NET platform. Suitable for those who already confidently program in C#.
Windows Presentation Foundation in .NET 4.5 with examples in C# 5.0 for professionals.
Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) platform provides a development infrastructure designed to build high-quality user interfaces for the Windows operating system. The book begins by building a solid foundation of elementary concepts, backed up by existing knowledge of the C# language. Then we propose a discussion of complex concepts with their demonstration on useful examples that emphasize the resulting savings in time and effort spent.
