Would be nice to have here not only about gaming development but about IT in general, like programming languages, clouds, security, networking

That would need a specific curation, as it would flood the forum.
I have seen some course creators (well, at least one for C++) are abusing free promotion channels by splitting their courses chapters into several courses...
Also IT in general is too large.
I am already personnaly adding all programming and computer science courses I find to my udemy library but this is quite pointless actually.
Lots of them are quite redundant.
Even for game dev, we don't really need several introduction to Unity file menu UI... ^^

You can still update the first post. Maybe also sort it so that the latest stuff is at the top?

I check PACKT a couple of times a week, when I remember. Hopefully some of that will come in handy one day, although I doubt it.

Not that I know of right now. The unity tutorials posted are C# in general.
I only post game programming related tutorials here because that's what this topic is about.
But I can drop you a reply here if I come across generic C# tutorials in the future if you want.

I posted another unity link aimed at augmented reality. It is not a generic C# course but they do use C# so it might be helpful for you in the future.

This one isn't specifically for making games, but it is done in unity and if I understand it right this tutorial could be helpful for making augmented reality games.
