Not looking for similar advice, but for advice on how you learned how to give such good advice. :P

Sorry, I was far too vague in my first post.

My question should have been, how did you get into the business of critiquing websites and where did you gain the knowledge to do so so well?

One thing I'd like to add here: if you're learning Unity and C# from scratch at the same time you might be doing yourself a disservice. Learning the Unity IDE and game programming concepts are hard enough as it is and my advice would be to spend a few months learning C# and create some simple console applications first.

Here are some that I started with:

  • Calculator
  • Alarm clock
  • Program to detect images in a selected folder in a given ratio (good for finding desktop wallpapers from images you've saved locally)
  • A program with simulates how a CPU works
  • Useful extension methods

A few other great things to learn:

  • Nuget package manager
  • NUnit and unit testing in general

If you're a student or can afford it, get ReSharper since it's like pair programming with a genius robot. I've learned a ton of good habits just by being poked by ReSharper over and over again.

Good luck!

What does it feel like to be 90, both physically and mentally? I'm usually okay with it, but sometimes I'm terrified of aging. :o

I'm a current grad student studying computer science with a focus on AI & Machine Learning. In the upcoming final year of my degree I have two elective classes to take to meet all of the requirements for the program. What kinds of classes or focuses would you say go hand in hand with AI?
