| Overview

| This course will help you prepare for the Unity Certified
| Programmer exam, the professional certification for entry to mid-
| level Unity programmers. Unity is used to create real-time 3D
| applications for many industries, including video games,
| automotive, architecture, film, training, and more. In this
| course, you will be challenged to solve realistic Unity
| programming problems that are aligned to topics covered on the
| exam. Throughout the course, you will build the foundation for a
| 2D action video game: AsteraX. In doing so, you will practice many
| of the skills covered in the exam, including evaluating scripting
| needs from a project requirements document, implementing the three
| "C's" of an interactive applications (Character, Controls,
| Camera), providing user feedback through basic UI elements, and
| applying professional programming practices like developer
| testing.

| Description

| Over 8 hours of video instruction. This series of courses covers
| six topic areas distributed over four courses. These topics
| include programming core interactions, working in the art
| pipeline, developing application systems, programming for scene
| and environment design, optimizing for performance and platforms,
| and working in professional software development teams. The format
| of these courses are project and activity based and participants
| will need to feel comfortable individually programming in Unity.
| Participants will be challenged to build two complete Unity
| projects, implementing core interactivity, supporting systems, and
| platform optimizations.

| About the Instructor

| Unity Technologies is the creator of the worlds most widely used
| real-time 3D (RT3D) development platform, giving developers around
| the world the tools to create rich, interactive 2D, 3D, VR and AR
| experiences. Our 1000 person engineering team keeps Unity at the
| bleeding-edge of technology by working alongside partners such as
| Facebook, Google, Microsoft, and Oculus to ensure optimized
| support for the latest releases and platforms. Experiences made
| with Unity reach nearly 3 billion devices worldwide, and were
| installed 24 billion times in the last 12 months. Unity is
| powering RT3D in architecture, automotive, construction,
| engineering, film, games, and more.

| By successfully completing the projects in all four courses,
| participants will have had extensive, guided practice in the
| programming skills needed to pass the Unity Certified Programmer
| exam.
