Although I know my way around some things technical, when it came to learning how to use Unity (v4.6.0b20) to build a basic program that consisted of just an interactive user interface (UI), it was not necessarily intuitive. Below are the actual productive steps that led to motes of progress in making a functional program.
First, after some unfruitful guides (including the overly technical tutorials on the Unity site itself), I eventually found this tutorial: http://www.raywenderlich.com/78675/unity-new-gui-part-1
Aside from the cutesy-ness, it was helpful getting a basic program with buttons that respond to clicks.
Hopefully one day I can use this to make some manifestation of my main project, Ephemeral Respite.
