Hello.

I am new to game development and i am going to hire a programmer in order to develop my own game.

I want to develop mobile 2D real time multiplayer shooter with more then 16 player on server, using unity or other game development platform. So before hiring programmers i would like to at least understand basics of game development, programming, client/server connection, UI.

I do not want to be able to write game codes or do programming, i just want to know basics in order to work with hired personnel comfortable, understand what they are doing and actively engage with them.

If you know any online resources that could help me to learn basics of programming, client/server connection, UI and other parts of game development - please leave links in comments.

Thank you in advance.
