Task #1: Complete Unity Essentials training course

[fronchetti]

Before diving into VR development, you must learn the basics first. As a starting point, we recommend the completion of the "Unity Essentials" training course available at https://learn.unity.com/.

Essential steps to complete this task:

• Create a Unity ID (in other words, an account) at https://id.unity.com/
• Open the Unity Essentials course at https://learn.unity.com/pathway/unity-essentials
• Complete the course and post your progress on this issue
• Feel free to explore the other courses of the Unity Learn platform, such as the VR Development one at https://learn.unity.com/pathway/vr-development

If you face any problems, don't hesitate to contact me at fronchettl@vcu.edu.

Made progress on the "Explore Unity" section by implementing a "the floor is lava" game. I also finished the part for scripting, so I got an introduction to coding in Unity.

Finished the Unity Essentials pathway. I plan on taking a look at the VR Development and Junior Programmer pathways to sharpen my skills in these areas as well.
