While learning the ropes for Unity, we had to become familiar with coding in C#. Taking a linkedin course for coding was very helpful in learning the basics of how it works, however it was during the lessons I realized how tedious coding could be at times; with it relying heavily on exactly how you type things out, a stray capital letter or colon instead of a semicolon could ruin the entire code. Not to mention, the lessons were for a different version of Unity in which not all was entirely transferable from the lesson, which made it increasingly difficult to code the things I needed. Fortunately we were later given a different Unity course that helped better understand the concepts of how coding works instead of what to copy and paste. The new coding course was extremely advantageous, with clear and easy instructions that let me know what each individual line or phrase did; a crucial step to letting me become more proficient in the area of coding. Another difference between lessons is the former often made me feel less inclined to code, since I was still left confused throughout the lessons, but the newer official lessons make coding seem fun - almost like a puzzle game - that I could make great things with. So far, due to delays and being ill the past few weeks I haven’t been able to progress very far into the lesson, but I’ve gotten to the point where I can move the car given in the exercise forward. One thing I greatly appreciate about the new lesson as well, is that the teacher adds notes within the code that lets us know what it does, also giving us alternative coding lines for greater clarification. Once I am able to progress further into the lesson I feel like I could truly come to enjoy coding as well as understanding it clearly, and I have high hopes I could do a good job with it.
