Learning C# and Unity

Post by kingOfWyrms »

So I've been searching around for tutorials to see if I can improve my meager coding skills, and I'm not sure where to look. Should I focus on C# first, and then learn Unity's quirks, or try and understand Unity first? What resources are there that I should use to learn? I'm guessing the people who have contributed to the project initially learned through more conventional means, like a school, but if any of you learned from books or tutorials to start with, I would very much appreciate it if you could point me in the direction of those resources. Oh! And any other advice or tips would be greatly appreciated as well.

I'm kind of in this boat as well. I have worked some with ansi C, in order to do some OS level programming in the future, but the differences between ansi C and C# escape me right now. For creating mods, or supplanting game combat mechanics, I would like to learn this.

As far as the difference between understanding Unity and understanding C#, Interkarma can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Unity is written in C#. I guess my question would be, if you know some ansi C, how much of that would be relevant in C#?

Unity has a fairly extensive selection of tutorials, that also include some c# tutorials as well.
