Basic Programming Terms in Verse

Now that you know how to get into Verse using UEFN, the next step is to make sure you have a good understanding of basic programming terms.

This lesson starts with really basic stuff. Even if you know these terms already, take a minute to review them here. Sometimes a later lesson refers to something earlier, so it's good to have the context and continuity from one lesson to the next.
