Book Description
Struggling to write maintainable and clean code for your Unity games? Look no further! Learning Design Patterns with Unity empowers you to harness the fullest potential of popular design patterns while building exciting Unity projects. Through hands-on game development, you’ll master creational patterns like Prototype to efficiently spawn enemies and delve into behavioral patterns like Observer to create reactive game mechanics. As you progress, you’ll also identify the negative impacts of bad architectural decisions and understand how to overcome them with simple but effective practices.
By the end of this Unity 2023 book, the way you develop Unity games will change. You’ll emerge not just as a more skilled Unity developer, but as a well-rounded software engineer equipped with industry-leading design patterns.

Review
“Harrison Ferrone has done a terrific job. I’ve used Design Patterns extensively, since back in by Java days with the “Gang of Four”, and understand how designing and writing efficient reusable code, and adhering to best practices is such an important habit to get into. Harrison’s book is excellently written and covers this subject well, and it is great to see design patterns covered from a Unity framework perspective. Definitely recommend checking it out if coding design patterns are new to you, or if you fancy a recap with a Unity slant on the subject.”

About the Author
Harrison Ferrone was born in Chicago, IL. Most days, you can find him creating instructional content for LinkedIn Learning or trying to learn something new. He holds various fancy looking pieces of paper from the University of Colorado at Boulder and Columbia College Chicago, and despite being a proud alumnus, most of these are stored in a basement somewhere. After a few years as an iOS developer at small start-ups, and one Fortune 500 company, he fell into a teaching career and never looked back. Throughout all this, he’s bought many books, acquired a few cats, worked abroad, and continually wondered why Neuromancer isn’t on more course syllabi
