This is why I check this link every single day to see what’s available that day. :slight_smile:

Today is Python for Finance. Well…it’s Python! And you might be interested in Finance too.

Packt have another Unity 5 book available for free. It’s not the regular free book a day url so not sure how long this one will be available:

What You Need To Know About Unity 5

I just tried to download this and keep getting this error… Validation error, please try again. If this error persists, please contact the site administrator.

If its got the registration page on it its aimed at attracking new users rather than a freebie for existing ones.

Could always register again with a different email address I suppose?

Edited post due to the legality issue (potentially) and not putting GameDev in a position were they have to act.

Sorry guys but Robs post below is correct.

Need to remember these books do state that they shouldnt be distributed by anyone other than PacktPub…

Packt have tweeted that there was an issue downloading some of their books which they have now resolved. So you should still be able to grab the What You Need To Know About Unity book via the link.

Confirmed although either i had the book already on my proper account or it dumped it down with my other “What you need to know” books so if you dont see it scroll down:)
Thanks @Simon_McGuirk

Thanks Marc, appreciated :slight_smile:

It wasn’t without it’s irony that it was the same day I made contact with Packtpub to discuss this very topic and had given the forums URL in my email. Hehe… more on this when I hear back.

Hey no problem :slight_smile:Was my fault entirely for not reading Pakts terms properly so glad you caught it before someone got into trouble (namely me!). I really should be thanking you :slight_smile: So thanks!

I’m getting a thanks and ‘take me to my ebooks’ button for the things about unity book, but it’s not in my books or order history like the other books I have with them. I’ll check later on my desktop machine. In the meantime, has anyone had a flick through it? Will I be missing out on quality info if I can’t grab it? Haha.
