Hello all! I am a beginner programmer who knows a bit of IOS development. I am starting unity.I have decided to follow the tutorials given on the unity site. The topics are however not given any order. In which order should I start them? Like first should I learn scripting or audio or 2d dev ? Help pls.
Then follow the scripting stuff probably, I am assuming you want to do the code? And from there, take over the world pretty much.

Thankyou MD_Reptile , but actually I am asking Unity Learn there is a list of topics. Are they enough to learn unity? And if incase they are, How should I approach the topics ? Like I mean in what order should I do them to keep things balance? For example should I first go and learn 2d Game creation or Interface and essentials? Or Graphics? Which order should I do them in so things get balanced. Sorry for my bad english I hope you got what I am saying.
They generally are, I haven’t watched all of them, as when I was learning the basics those didn’t exist! I used the tutorials on 3D Buzz to learn a lot of useful stuff, and lots of random stuff like that video. That video covers a bunch of the absolute basics I saw, so I figured it was a good starting point if your just scratching the surface.

As Unity is generally consistent in difficulty (most areas of the engine take the same a
mount of brain power to understand), you should follow the tutorials that relate to the type of problem or game you’re trying to solve and work out from there. Once you hit a roadblock follow more tutorials and learning.
Basically I advocate learning things you NEED to learn to do the job on hand, not learning things you are not working on at the moment. This is because, most of the time, you will learn that stuff yourself on the way, and Unity is so big now, that most of the staff in fact, do not have 100% familiarity with their own engine. There simply isn’t enough time for it.
The only exception is probably if you can’t program to begin with, then in this case you should be learning C#, which is not covered in the Learn section.
In my case I learned Unity in 3.x by trial and error. I can’t follow video tutorials anyway.

Do them pretty much in the order you have them listed above.
But also feel free to skip around a bit to follow your interests.

Yes, but if I recall correctly there is at least one video covering UnityScript. Additionally if you go to an unofficial source for tutorials you will occasionally encounter UnityScript. He’s just pointing out that the language you want to learn is C#.
We understand the question. We’re just saying there isn’t any official order. Just pick the ones most relevant to you first.

It is covered fairly well in the scripting section. It doesn’t go deep into design patterns, but pretty much all of your basic functionality is covered. I learned C# from the learn section, and I do fairly well.
Otherwise I would agree with everything @hippocoder said. Hit the sections that meet your current needs.

Hi OP, I know this question is really old, but do you still remember what worked best for you or do you have suggestions of your own? I started learning Unity a few days ago, up until now I have some idea of the basic functions but I don’t know where to learn more. The tutorials I find on YouTube are not that great since the uploader(s) doesn’t explain much of what they is doing.
Yeah, you might not want to use YouTube but rather the ones mentioned above, in the order shown.
