If people reach perfection, they vanish, you know.

T.H. White, The Once and Future King

Harrison Ferrone was born in Chicago, Illinois and was raised all over. Hes worked at Microsoft, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and a handful of small start-ups, but most days you can find him creating instructional content for LinkedIn Learning and Pluralsight or tech editing for the Ray Wenderlich website.

He holds various fancy looking pieces of paper from the University of Colorado at Boulder and Columbia College Chicago. Despite being a proud alumnus, these are stored in a basement somewhere.

After a few years as a full-time iOS and Unity developer, he fell into a teaching career and never looked back. Throughout all of this, hes bought many books, been owned by several cats, worked abroad, and continually wondered why Neuromancer isnt on more course syllabi.

Completing this book wouldnt have been possible without loving support from Kelsey, my wife and partner in crime on this journey.

Simon Jackson is a long-time software engineer and architect with many years of Unity game development experience, as well as the author of several Unity game development titles. He loves to both create Unity projects as well as lend a hand to help educate others, whether its via a blog, vlog, user group, or major speaking event.
