Using C# with Unity

Going forward, it's important to think of Unity and C# as symbiotic entities. Unity is the engine where you will create scripts and eventually run them, but the actual programming will take place in another program, called Visual Studio. Don't sweat that right now—we'll get to that in a moment.
