As some of you may know I teach Unity as part of my job and part of my recent research has been focused on developing a new method of teaching Unity to beginners. Having collaborated with a number of other Unity tutors worldwide in critiquing my previous approach to teaching, I have developed a new modular approach which combines small modules of information, and challenges that bring what you have learned together.

I am currently appealing to the Unity community to take a look at the early beta version of the site and give me feedback via the comments and suggestions parts of the site. Anything you’d like to see added – or you think works or doesn’t work in an educational sense – feel free to let me know!

Book front cover

Hi all, so this is some shameless self promotion on my part but hey, its been 10 months of work so I feel justified! I’ve finally finished my book on Unity, called “Unity Game Development Essentials” which is going to press with Packt Publishing this week.

It has been available through the publisher’s RAW program in early draft form for a couple of months and this week the finished version will be available to buy as PDF and Paperback via Amazon, Safari, Netlibrary, barnes and nobles and borders.

Hope it helps out beginners starting out in the wonderful world of Unity development!

Will
