    What versions of Mono and C# does Unity use? Does Unity use Mono 2.0 and C# 2.0? Also, will this all change with Unity 2.0?

    Unity 1.6.2 uses Mono 1.2, and .NET 2.0 is not available there (.NET 1.1 is used).

    In Unity 2.0 we'll use more recent Mono version, and (I wonder if I can reveal any details...), um, yeah, there will be some upgrades to .NET version supported :)

    Thanks Aras :)

    I need to study up on C# a bit more, so I want to learn the right version. I think I'll just wait until 2.0 and learn C# only (without as much .NET as I can :p).

    There aren't a lot of differences in C# versions. Yes, there is support for generics and a couple of other things; but then in real life you'll most likely use generics that come in standard collections (and that's ".NET libraries"). I'd say learn any, the differences between C#/.NET 1.1 and 2.0 are minor.
