Question more suited for the forum rather than Q/A.
Need advice
So, I am not sure where to post this on the unity community site, and don't want it to come out as begging or unscrupulous. The reason I am asking on here it to get a quick answer on where to make the post.
I am 24 and mostly self-taught programmer (Just watching tutorials, researching the internet, and reading.) I currently know C#, and can read unity's javascript. I am not a complete beginner, I like to think I am at a novice level. I can't go to school to learn at this time so I've been teaching myself slowly for the past 2 years. But I just feel as if I can't find the right resources due to not being able to spend my money on courseware or schooling, or am just simply stuck. I am looking to see if there are any like-minded people who enjoy programming as much as I do, and would like to learn together. Or even better if someone who could mentor me in their spare time. Programming is more than just a hobby to me, and I want to learn enough to one day have a career doing it. If anyone has some advice for me as to where to post something like this please let me know.
You can go to the collaboration part of the forum here http://forum.unity3d.com/forums/non-commercial-collaboration.17/ and try to find a group to work/learn with.
As far as finding stuff to learn goes, it's all over the place in this Q/A, the unity forum, stackoverflow.com, youtube, and tons of other spots all over the internet. If you can't figure something out, just google "Unity3d how to... do this, do that, do whatever" or "C# how to... do stuff" and start reading and/or watching videos. I bet an entire game of some sort could be made simply by copy/paste scripts and code chunks found in this Q/A alone with hardly any modifications.
This question isn't really for this Q/A board tho, so I'm gonna close it and move the topic into the help room.
Yeah that is pretty much what I've been doing. Reading, following youtube videos, free courses on udemy and other sites, checking out post on the unity answers. $$anonymous$$ost of the youtube videos and courses sadly, will explain something simple as public stiring myString = "This is a string." for hours but when it comes to more advanced program$$anonymous$$g, they just say thing like "Ok so we want to create some AI. Alright open a new c# script, type this and ta-da! the AI IS ALIVE!" not explaining any of the parts which would actually need explaining. Out of the thousands of videos I have watched, I feel like they are all saying the same thing over and over, skipping the stuff I actually don't fully understand. I can't stand copy/paste and not fully understand what is happening and how the code does what does. Plus, you can't actually ask the person a question exactly, and I usually have more than one during the videos lol. But that is why I am looking for a person to communicate with.
Yeah, I understand all that. The available scripts laying around that would be copy/paste ready for anyone that wanted to do that can be learned from also.
Something else you can do when you're bored is find questions on this site that you DON'T know the answer to, then try to figure out the answer before someone else posts it. Then you'll learn stuff and help someone else at the same time.
Hello. Some of the best teachers I learned from are:

P.S. Maybe this question should have went on the Unity Forums
Yeah that is what I was asking where at, there are lots of sections but Lo0Nuhti$$anonymous$$ said the non-commercial section. Thanks everyone for your help.
