Hello forum,

First of all, I have to admit that I am totally new to Unity.
I have a friend who asked me if I want to start working with him in his game company and according to him, they work a lot with Unity.
Now, I’m doing some research to get to know what I should expect, but I still have some questions…

  1. Whats the best language to combine Unity with, is it c# or Javascript (these are the languages I found during my research)
  2. Should I first learn the language and afterwards working with Unity or can I learn them at the same time?
  3. What books do you recommend for beginners?

I’d really appreciate your help! :wink:

Greets, Nicholas

1- You should check what language your friend uses at his company, that way your friend can help you with tips and tricks of the languages, it would be kind of useless if you learned UnityScript and your friend knew how to do things in C# right?

2- You should learn both at the same time, there’s nothing much that can’t be achieved with scripting, and a lot that can be better done with the IDE, You should learn to use both and how they both interact with each other and when to use one over the other.

3- there’s tons of video tutorials on the forums, depending on the language you choose. Books are good and all, but there’s nothing like seeing someone script and use the IDE at the same time. Check the sticky threads of this subforums.
