I was looking at getting it for my kids just last week. Went through a bunch forums, reading through what people are saying and the overwhelming tone was that it's just not good. An ad-hoc collection of tutorials with no overall structure and that are more confusing than helpful. Too complicated for noobs, too trivial with those with a bit of experience.

If anyone has a firsthand experience with Unity Learn, I'd love to hear about it, and I'm sure others will find it useful too.




I went through a bunch of Unity courses. Wrote about the best one here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22688437

In fact, it was my best experience among online courses on any subject.


I'm doing a relatively short course right now on optimization which is instructive. Profiling is an important but strangely ad hoc task so I'm always looking for fresh content on the subject.


Out of all the online courses, I would say they have the most fun/engaging content. It kind of makes sense too.

This is how I feel about most open source software documentation and tutorials/articles about library or software usage.


Hell, this is how I feel about 90% of technical books and textbooks. Writing is hard. 10X harder for highly technical content.


Check out Dreams for PS4. It's perfect to create games with kids.
