Welcome

Welcome to Unity for Non-Coders

Do you want to create video games?

Do you want to learn how to code?

Do you want to learn Unity?

Then, this blog is for you.

What is this Blog about?

This blog is a guide for Non-Coders (NonC's) who wish to learn and understand coding for Unity.

Why should you read my blog?

Easy, I want you to learn. I am a teacher after all.

There are tons of good information scattered on the internet. It's also true that some information is obscure, incomplete or simply wrong. When that information is correct, it tends to be over-complicated or hard to follow for Non-C's.

Why is it so complicated sometimes?

The answer is 'frustrum'. It's all about scope.

Your scope (say, your actual knowledge) has a "zone of proximal developmet" (Vigotsky). In short, if you are in that zone, you can learn; otherwise, you will see the information as boring or simply as a black hole, ten light years away.

I would like you to find a place to understand coding in a thorough, clear way.

I don't consider myself a good coder but a good thinker. I respect coders so I turn to them to ask specific or advanced questions. Being a coder is more than coding: it is a way of being and thinking. You cannot simply call yourself a coder because you code.

Do I consider myself a coder?

Well, I love to code. I have been fascinated by it since my first code line. What I am is a teacher... and sometimes I put on my developer hat and I work as hard as I can.

Final words

This blog is about my way of doing things. When it comes to good coding, I care about facts. If the code works, fine; if it doesn't, redo it. If there's a better way of doing it, do some research, ask around, experiment, check and recap.
I am not a trained coder so I have to make up with effort.
