[1] is the single best online course I had. It took ~30 hours to complete, and we all know how easy it is to drop a course after couple sessions.
It teaches from very basics, at the same time the projects are diverse and fun because 3D-assets and effects are provided.
Chunk size is perfect, few minutes video and then it's few minutes of work in the editor. Videos have short text summary so there's no need to rewind the video if I missed something.
Often it solves a problem in a naive but incorrect way, and then fixes it. So when I encounter a problem in real project, I often have experience dealing with it.
It has debugging projects, where you have a complete project which is broken in multiple ways. So smart. In my regular programming work I spend most time debugging, not creating from scratch.
The narrator (Carl D.) is charismatic, videos are very professional.
I wish there were more courses with same structure and quality. Can't recommend it enough.
Correct. I've been using this with my high school Game Programming course this semester. It made the transition to distance learning pretty straightforward for that class. I think the title of the post should include the word Premium since Unity Learn in general is free, it's the Premium content that has been made free for 3 months.
Making good instructional videos is tough. Speaking loud enough, clear enough and slow enough to be understandable to as many people as possible with different levels of language proficiency can make it seem weird for some. I met Carl at a Unite conference and his voice sounded a little off compared to my memory of it and I realized it's because I've been so used to listening at 2x on those videos.
