PREREQUESITES:
It is assumed that the Unity ecosystem is already installed and ready to use before the first class. If you are new to Unity, there are two easy ways to accomplish this:
1. Take the Level 1 class and create a 2D game first. That class does go through the installation process and fundamentals

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been in the world of computer science my entire life, often focused on coding and platforms of different types. Over my career I have spent countless hours and presentations explaining how complex technical things "work" to a nontechnical crowd. This is the expertise I bring to classes, gaining understanding before skill building. While retired now, I dedicate my time to passing along decades of experience to the next generation, enabling them to go even further in their own careers. Reviews
