Alyx Posted October 5, 2016 Hey All, I've been messing around with Unity and C# and have been working my way through the following online courses: Learn to Code by Making Games - The Complete Unity Developer (Udemy) C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners (Microsoft VIrtual Academy) They've been super helpful, but I'm looking around for some other resources that focus on teaching C# to programming beginners. I've taken some fundamentals courses in the past so I have a lot of the basics down, but don't really know where to go to take things further. Any suggestions? Like I said, I'm still a beginner, but I'm trying to find a good progression of online courses (free/affordable), books, etc. that will help me become a proficient, and potentially employable, programmer. I know that it'll likely take me a few years to obtain the skills and experiences to qualify for even an entry level programming position (within games or not), but I'm up for the challenge. I just need some help getting there. NOTE: I'm the kind of learner that likes to use multiple formats. With that said, I'm definitely getting tired of listening to people talk all the time and would LOVE to find a good book that has assignments and the like. Thanks for any help that ya'll can offer! Cheers, Alyx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spenny Posted October 5, 2016 Hey, so I don't know what you consider beginner, I would at least assume after working through two courses you are certainly working with some pretty effective base knowledge. If your end goal is employability as a programmer, it would probably make sense to look into C++ courses and algorithm courses (abstract computer science). C++ is probably the most arcane yet widely used language (in games too) and the abstract comp sci stuff is the meat of programming interviews. I like C# a lot, but it's design is generally for ease of use to the programmer, and in my experience, C# expertise hasn't been the shiniest thing on a resume. Learning another language and learning abstract CS will echo back and make your C# skills stronger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
