What's Included in the Program
Become A Confident Programmer in Just 8 Weeks
Been struggling to turn your idea into gameplay code? Not sure which coding concept to use at which time? Sick of looking at a blank script and thinking "where the heck do I even start"?
This program has been carefully designed to transform you from believing:
"I can't code" and "I'm no good at this"
To:
"It's finally making sense" and "I know what I'm doing".
The program does this by helping you THINK LIKE A PROGRAMMER.
We will give you a structured approach to knowing WHAT code to use, WHEN to use it and HOW to use it effectively.
Foundational Concepts & Real World Code Examples
You're in good hands with Unity C# Expert Chris Kurhan (LlamAcademy).
Chris has created a library of video training content which takes foundational C# coding concepts and shows you not just WHAT the concept is, not just HOW to use it, but also WHEN and WHY.
The best thing is that Chris will walk you through code from successful game projects (eg. Celeste) and discuss how professional games teams make architectural decisions and use certain coding practices.
NOTE: This Program is intended for people with some programming knowledge, but still struggling to write code on their own. If you're an absolute beginner with no programming knowledge at all then the discussions will likely be too advanced for you, likewise if you're already confidently making your own games then you might need to wait for our advanced Program to be available. For everyone inbetween, this content will be perfect!
Improve Your Decision Making With Programming Challenges
The biggest boost you'll receive from this Program will be from completing the challenges contained in mini-projects you'll be provided with. The projects have been designed to build specific skills, then apply what you’ve learned to a larger Unity project that evolves throughout the program. Each week, as a group, we'll discuss the concepts, challenges and solutions.
Early on, guidance for challenges is explicit. Over time, it tapers - helping you build independence rather than reliance.
By the end of the program, you won’t just “know more Unity.” You’ll have practiced the fundamentals enough times, in enough different contexts, that starting a new script no longer feels intimidating - it feels familiar.

Get ready to finally feel confident writing your own Unity C# code.
The Ultimate Unity Coding Program is an 8-week live, hands-on training designed to help you move from “I kind of understand this…” to “I know how to start, what to write, and how to fix it when it breaks.”
If you’ve used Unity before but still hesitate when facing a blank script, this program gives you the structure, support, and guided practice you need to make real progress without throwing endless tutorials or theory at you.
This is about learning a set of core Unity C# concepts really well, applying them in real projects, and getting feedback so you can start thinking like a programmer.
Ready to take your coding skills to the next level?
This is an 8 Week Program, starting with the kick-off Coaching Call on 1 Feb at 2pm PST and finishing with a final Coaching Call March 29 at 2pm PST.
Each week will introduce a new module. Each module with have a specific focus with video training content, real world code examples, practice projects and challenges.
The expectation is that you have at least 5 hours of available time each week to participate. If you have more, great, you'll be able to dig deeper. If there are some weeks where you have less, that's fine, you'll be able to catch up. All coaching calls are recorded and our discord server will have folks available at different times of the day to help you get the most out of the Program.
