I'm learning java with android but I'm also learning unity3d with C#. Is it wise to just learn them one at a time or can I still just learn both at the same time?

29,118 PointsIt's entirely up to you and how much you can handle. Java and C# are very similar, though Android development and Unity development are very different. It really just depends on how fast you learn and if you can focus on multiple topics and differences at a time.

46,626 PointsYou can definitely hop around a little bit to keep your brain on edge. Neurons in the brain fire better when they are stimulated with various material. A vast majority of your time should be devoted to learning the ins and outs of a particular language until you have a firm grasp of the concepts. Too much jumping around though and you will end up having to go back and review a lot. There is definitely a fine line. Use the good old 80/20 rule. 80% of your time on the main language you desire to learn and 20% on others. All my opinion of course, but it has served me quite well. Hope it helps you as well.
