Aaron Craig

Aaron's had a passion for technology and games as far back as he can remember. Whether it was playing super Nintendo games with his big brother, or taking apart computers in the dead of night, he's loved learning about how technology works.
Now he's turned that into a job he loves. He graduated with a computer science degree in 2018 and turned his focus to online learning through Udemy and YouTube with his personal channel Beyond Us Games.
You'll find tutorials and courses that cover all aspects of technology, coding, and game development. His preferred game engine is GameMaker Studio 2, as it's low cost, and allows anyone to make games with their easy to learn language.
On Udemy, he focuses on creating courses about subjects that are difficult to learn on your own, but important to know. Look for game development, web design, general programming, and more as his course catalog continues to grow.

Actually a great place to start when it comes to coding.

By Laine Dorchester on 9/12/2020

I'm enjoying the course. He's a good teacher and explains well. Maybe going a little bit too fast as it gets more difficult but that may just be my learning is slower.

By Ricky Singh, MBA on 8/21/2020

This course was fun

By Laurie June Olor on 6/27/2020

I'm proud to say I'm making progress. If the program wont run because of an error, I tried to figure out where I went wrong, reviewed the video again and correct my work. Sometimes, I took a break coz I cant find the error right away. I am now in lesson 42!

By Mark Brezinski on 6/19/2020

Very similar to freely available resources.

By James Holloway on 6/19/2020

While I have yet to reach the more technical side of the course things have still been easy to understand starting out. Part of that is the instructor speaks slowly and clearly which is important for a beginner like myself.

By Rocio Katsanis on 6/2/2020

I really enjoyed this course. It was very informative and the way he explained things was not hard to understand. He clearly new what he was talking about and made sure to show us mistakes we could make and encouraged us to ask questions and reach out to him incase we needed help.
