In this course, I try to explain to students their WIIFM as follows:

  • Programming concepts covered can be ported to building applications for any platform
  • Unity is the most common platform for gaming so this course will help you to build your own games
  • Unity is widely used in many fields beyond gaming including digital health and AR/VR and it is increasing in popularity
  • C# is a member of the C-family of languages and uses a syntax similar to C++, Java, JavaScript, PHP, Dart, Swift and many others so your skills should be easily portable
  • Building Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) is a valuable skill and is portable to all platforms (web, phones, tablets, desktop, TVs, AR/VR, etc.)
  • C#, .NET and Visual Studio are great tools for building Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) and for application development in general
  • Fun, relatable, relevant and engaging way to learn programming!
