Hello,
I want to learn C#, primarily for use in Unity (game dev software), but I find it quite intimidating as someone completely new to programming. It's been suggested to me that Python is a great beginner language and it does indeed seem much simpler. Even the beginner tutorial in the signature of jmcilhinney starts with a piece of code too complex to explain right away: Visual C# .NET - Your first line of code ...whereas Python tutorials start out very simple before getting more complex.
I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried getting into programming via C# or with a comparable/relevant experience. On the one hand, learning Python first would probably make learning C# easier in the way learning Latin first might make it easier to learn Italian. But it would probably be faster to just learn Italian from the start. Also, I'm not sure what applications I'd find for Python. It's relevant for a compiling a plug-in I want to use in Unity and, in theory, I could make some simple games with it as I learn...
Any other ideas/suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
