This event is part of the August 2018 Class, "Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender 2.8"
To kick-off the beginner-oriented Class, we're simply opening Blender 2.8 and getting comfortable with it. We’ve all been there: Opening Blender (or any 3D package) for the first time, gazing at the crazy UI, trying to orbit in the viewport, crying...Ok, maybe you were stronger than me and didn’t cry. But the reality is 3D software is daunting. There’s SO MUCH to digest especially when you’re a beginner.
This stream coincides with the Blender Basics course. We're going to overview Blender and 3D from an absolutely beginner perspective. What is Blender for? What can it do? Wait, this isn’t a juicing seminar?
We’re also going to open the floor, ask me anything (AMA) style, so I can answer all your questions about getting started with Blender.

William, I think because it is designed to be easier to unwrap for applying a texture to it, like a globe.
When the expected release date for 2.8?
Very true, that.
I'm already used to alt+a it works great, maybe that's the benefit of being beginner, not used to all the hotkeys yet
I believe that after getting used to alt+a it's great
QUESTION: Why is it called a "UV" sphere?
Thanks goodness you can swap the hotkeys back to 2.79.
I do not like it either.
yeah, not liking the alt A either
