Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well. I am completely new to programming and am interested in going for a Unity Certification and building up from there. Should I learn something else prior to going for the User Programmer Certification? Or is that course suitable for someone who doesn’t know anything about C# or anything else developer/programmer related?
Any help would be appreciated so I know how to move forward.
I’m not sure if certification is very useful, but your milage may wary.
Because in unity C# is used as a scripting language, that makes things easier.
Regarding gamedev in unity, the absolute minimum you need to know is:
And you shouldn’t be afraid of dealing with algebra and basic trigonometry. It is unlikely that you’ll ever apply a lograithm in your code, but it helps to be familiar with concept of dot product and understanding what Sine/Cosine mean precisely.
That’s the minimum.
Well, you probably need to become familiar with C# first. I strongly recommend to go through the C# fundamentals by Microsoft to get a glimpse how it works.
If you are into video lessons, then MS has a great one, if not, buy a C# for beginners book and go from there.
@ @neginfinity Thank you both sooooo much! This helps a ton! I’ll do my research and learn this to get started. I was completely lost but now I have a starting point. For real, thank you both!
Also, take a look at this. C# as it relates to unity:
