Any informative Tutorials about Coding that actually stick in your head?

Unity Engine

Hi guys, I am orginally a level designer but I thought instead of having one role in Unity3D. Why not have another one? I have done some basic programming before in JavaScript and I already understand functions and stuff but I need and want to learn more about Programming with really decent tutorials that are well done and stick in your head great. Does anybody have any recommendations for a beginner?

This is my GoTo spot: Unity 3D Student - 3d Modelling

It by no means covers everything, but its a good starting point for beginners. Its not exactly a coding tutorial, more like a general unity tutorial, but he does cover quite a bit of simple scripting.

If you have understanding of simple progamming like javascript then I believe you must be familiar with variables, conditional statement, loops and functions etc.

I think next step is OOP, just teach yourself basics of class, Object and Inheritance then follow the "hack and slash tutorial in C#. There are only few differences between javascript in Unity and C# and concepts are always same in all the programming language.

I generally prefer JS over CS because JS is easier to understand and write. CS takes longer code to do specific things.

you are right,javascript is definitely easier and C# does take few more keywords to do some basic things but that’s not the point of discussion, I am talking about Hack and Slash tutorial and that’s uses C# (it’s best tutorial IMO).

anyways take a look at this page:

It’s C#, but it’s a 500+ video tutorial series, go ahead and look up BergZergArcade on youtube

I’ve watched around 150 videos of it but Im not keen on C#… My first ever project was following that tutorial to make the ‘BEST EVER RPG GAME!!!’. However, being new to unity… failed miserably. I need some tutorials that are for JavaScript.

if u are a begginer, than a company called infiniteammoinc on youtube might be able to help you. just look through their videos and you should find some tutorials

I think tornado twins has some.

These are some good tutorials on Javascript with an interactive session in your web browser: http://www.codecademy.com

They start from the absolute basics. However I feel reiterating points is a good way to cement the concepts in your head.

I would say the best way to really get a grip on programming (as with most things) is to just get in there and use what you know to try and make something. Start with something basic, in the case of Unity this would be making a simple game that doesn’t rely too heavily on other areas of game development so that you can focus on the coding. Even Pong will provide you enough challenges as a beginner programmer to be a good learning experience.
