The best resource for learning from the beginning (spending time on a plane)

Learn Content
1

I’m gonna be spending a great deal of time on an airplane in a few days and I’d like to learn Unity. Is this book a good introduction to Unity, from the very basics (never launching the application before?)

Unity 3D Game Development by Example

Or perhaps I’d be better off with a particular tutorial from the website? Whatever you think is best, I need to be able to store it on my hard drive BEFORE I leave, since I won’t have internet on the plane :razz:

My options:

  • The book above
  • Another book
  • Downloadable tutorial and assets from website
  • videos from 3DBuzz (are these 2D or 3D?)

Which is best? I’m primarily concerned with the 3D features of the engine, so if any of the bulleted points I listed above primarily focus on 2D, please inform me!

-Edit: I read the 3D Buzz tutorials use C# - I’m gonna be on a macbook pro, so does that rule that particular learning channel out?

Mono allows cross platform use of C#

So C# is on the table.
