My favorite thing about Unity is how seriously they treated documentation and education. There are whole, elaborate tracks of educational material. It's really irritating that they walled a lot of it off behind a high paywall (seems awfully short sighted to charge up and coming developers $200+ to learn one aspect of how to use your product; I can feel the touch of an ambitious middle manager in that move), but what's free is still a great introduction, and the competition doesn't compare.
- gfxgirl 5y agoI have found the Unity docs to be atrocious. Missing info. Not well cross referenced. Important details buried as notes under other topics. Examples in docs out of date. Are you saying if I pay $200 I get access to better docs?
- CobrastanJorji 5y agoI don't know; I didn't pay the $200. I just really liked the "Junior Programmer" track on Unity's "Learn" website and was very irritated when I found out that there were dozens of hours of followup videos and course materials associated with their "Unity Certification" product that I couldn't see. I will say that the thing that was most annoying about the videos I could see was that they were out of date. You had to install a previous version of Unity if you wanted to load the assets that the course used.
- runevault 5y agoDidn't they move all of the learning stuff to free last year? Initially on a temporary basis then permanently later in the year. I haven't looked at their learning stuff for a while but I swear I remember that.
