Introduction to C# Programming and Unity
C# Programming for Unity Game Development,
This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using the C# programming language and the Unity game engine on Windows or Mac. Why use C# and Unity instead of some other language and game engine? Well, C# is a really good language for learning how to program and then programming professionally. Also, the Unity game engine is very popular with indie game developers; Unity games were downloaded 16,000,000,000 times in 2016! Finally, C# is one of the programming languages you can use in the Unity environment. This course doesn't assume you have any previous programming experience. Don't worry if you've never written code before; we'll start at the very beginning and work our way up to building small games by the end of the course. Throughout the course you'll learn core programming concepts that apply to lots of programming languages, including C#, and you'll also learn how to apply those concepts when you develop games. Computer programming is really fun in general, and programming games is even better! Caution: Beginning (assuming no prior programming knowledge) is not the same as easy (not hard to do). Learning to program IS hard to do, especially since this course is essentially the first half of a freshman-level college course. Meeting the course challenges while you master the material will be rewarding to you, but doing that will require hard work and maybe even a few expletives along the way. Module 1: Write your first C# console application and Unity script Module 2: Learn how we store data in our programs Module 3: Learn how we use classes and objects to implement our code Module 4: Learn the basics of Unity 2D games and take "Final Exam" “Unity” is a trademark or registered trademark of Unity Technologies or its affiliates in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Good intro to C# in context of Unity game development.
amazing pedagogy skills its a great course with good concepts of game development to learn unity and C# Loved to take those in-video quizzes.
I knew nothing about unity and it sounded so intimidating to me but this course gradually made me a confident beginner in game development in unity .
At leats no i know the very basic of game development like keyboard mouse game controller input spawning , applying force , screen clamping the thing that most of the advance courses doesn't cover.
I learnt alot from this course and it help me a lot in learning game development and C#.

solid foundation
It moves a bit fast at times, and not everything receives an in-depth explanation, but it lays a solid foundation.
A solid foundation.

completely new
For someone completely new to programming, though, it might be helpful to take a dedicate intro to programming course beforehand, as here the practical examples have some code use that is not fully covered in lectures, and while that in no way is limiting ones ability to complete the exercises, it might take extra self-stduy effort to fully understand why and how things are working out.
i learn lot of things through this course I was completely new to game programming and I found this course super useful.

at times
I have never programmed before, and this made it approachable, it can feel a little 'advanced' at times, give yourself plenty of time to research topics if needed.
Esta divertido el curso Очень подробное разъяснение I really appreciated the course, lots of things to learn for newbies (like-me) at times it can get bit difficult but you have to keep trying its they way we learn.
really cool
Excellent course and the instructor is really cool and a great teacher.Thanks !
Dr.Tim is really cool and loved his lectures.

so much
I love your teaching skills thank you so much sir you have made me to learn a new programming language Many others seemed to find it easy to follow, but I found the teacher's pace difficult to keep up with and his Lesson-Instructions a bit hard to follow, especially when interspersed with personal stories that got me off track, attention-wise.
