I have never written any code of any kind. I have a mild understanding of HTML is all. What’s the best tutorial out there on where to start, things like understanding terminology, how to actually add code into games, etc. I am experienced in a number of higher end programs such as Maya, 3DSmax, etc, and have been working with Unity for the last 6 months, so yes I can learn. C# seems very foreign to me but I really want to get started in it. Any ideas or links would be very appreciated. We’re talking C# for idiots here, lol. Thanks, you guys have been really helpful.
official live training vids, in no particular subject order
probably start with
https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/beginner/live-training-archive/coding-for-the-absolute-beginner
all kinds of straight forward scripting help in the official learn section, from basic aspects to full projects
just be careful with anything pre version 4.6 with regards UI (they replaced the entire system with something much more powerful, old still works for now but learn the new one instead
) and pre version 5 (they changed the quick accessors so they will error in recent versions)
I personally bought two C# books off of Amazon (“C# 4.0 In a Nutshell” and “Essential C# 4.0”), then locked myself in my room for a week while reading them and writing functions out in a notebook (yeah, a real one, with the paper and the lines and everything). I didn’t even allow myself to turn on the computer the entire time. When I came out of my den, dirty and unshaven and half-broken, I knew C# well enough to get by.
Then again, I took classes in C++ a dozen years ago in college and I’ve had a good amount of experience in web languages as well (LAMP developer), so I probably had a slight advantage over starting from nothing, lol.
