Highlights from the Web
The following are just a general collection of respected resources out on the Web to help
the budding Unity developer hone their skills:
• The Unity3D learn site is an ever growing set of tutorials and videos to help you
out; it's always worth checking them out every so often. It can be found at ht-
tp://unity3d.com/learn .
• What's specifically worth calling out on the Unity site is the live training session
and its archive. Here, the Unity learning team takes requests and then transfers
them into live recorded sessions. Keep watching! There's always something to
learn from these videos. The videos are available at http://unity3d.com/learn/live-
training .
• On my blog, there are two major posts worthy of mention, which contain links to
just about every interesting thing I find useful for budding game developers. I keep
them updated as often as I can (you can also check the rest of my blog as well).
The blogs can be found at:

ful tips, and changes in the latest update; it is available at http://va.lent.in/

how they overcame them; additionally, it provides some very useful tricks of the
trade. It is available at http://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1r63tq/
