Summarizing a Summer of Learning

1

Unity

While I normally use Unity for game development, their dwindling support for game development tools and questionable business decisions have made me search for different options. I could switch to Unreal, but I prefer to make 2D games or simple 3D games, which doesn't really fit. Therefore, I've been learning Godot Engine. There's been some growing pains, but so far I like the features and workflow. I'm also very excited about the features coming with Godot 4, which should make Godot more of a competitor with Unity in 3D game development. I can't wait to learn more and pull this out at my next game jam.

Azure Blob Storage

This summer I participated in Bit Project's Serverless Camp, an 8-week program where I learned how to use Azure Serverless Functions using Node. Along with serverless functions, I learned how to use other Azure services such as their Face API for facial recognition, Blob Storage, and CosmosDB. The assignments in the camp were all done through small practical projects, which helped give a sense of how these tools could be applied to full web applications. While I unfortunately was not able to submit a project due to other commitments, this camp was an incredibly valuable learning experience, and I can't wait to apply what I've learned to future projects.
