The only thing you need to get the most from your upcoming C# and Unity adventure is a curious mind and a willingness to learn. Having said that, doing all the Time for Action, Heroes Trial, and Quiz sections is a must if you hope to cement the knowledge you're learning. Lastly, revisiting topics and entire chapters to refresh or solidify your understanding before moving on is always a good idea. There is no sense in building a house on an unstable foundation.
You'll also need a current version of Unity installed on your computer – 2020 or later is recommended. All code examples have been tested with Unity 2020.1 and should work with future versions without issues.
