Very good intro to Udemy 5 for a beginner. Just what I needed to understand the basics of the software. I can now go forward feeling more confident in progressing in other courses for Unity 5. Note lecture 16 and 21 have no audio but they can be followed by just watching them.
This was a great course for me being a true beginner. I had zero experience with unity until this course. I will most likely revisit some of the chapters since I know there is no way that I will remember everything that I learned. The instructor did a great job explaining things and even repeated himself in later chapters which helped cement processes in my head. If I had to make any changes, I would request a quiz at the end. That always helps me remember things a little better. That would be my only request and that is only based upon my learning style. Definitely not a requirement though. Great job!
