Ratings and reviews

I was looking for a good resource to get up to speed with NGUI and this was the perfect book. It starts with a quick introduction of NGUI and then goes into details like using NGUI to save options, implement volume modification, launch animations, and change variables. This is a good primer on enhancing your game's UI using draggable panels, animations, content alignment, and localization. It also touches upon dealing with different screen sizes and aspect ratios which is very useful in mobile game development. Overall I feel this is the best resource to quickly get upto speed with NGUI and develop 2d and 3d in-game user interfaces.
