You can find fantastic JavaScript tutorials at JavaScript Tutorial,

C# has kind of the same layout, but gets a little more complex, so I would recommend looking for a book on it.

However, you can use either JavaScript or C#, there is rarely any difference in using either one.

This is totally wrong, for Unity. JS and UnityScript are different languages. Also, w3schools has quite a lot of mistakes on it.

I would suggest using Codecademy for JavaScript; http://www.codecademy.com

I’ve been doing their exercises for a few weeks & its easy to pick up.

Also if you want to learn jQuery to go with it, although not so much for Unity, try learn jQuery in 30 days; 30 Days to Learn jQuery

I tried with books for YEARS but to no avail. Finally, at the age of 35, I went to a game dev course. 3 months after starting, I was coding basic sprite games in C++ and by the end of the course (1 year) I was doing 3D graphics with Direct X.

I’d recommend being taught by someone who knows what they are doing, as, especially if you are like me and don’t have a very mathematical mind, books will just seem like gibberish.

I’d also recommend C/C++… you’ll easily understand C#, JavaScript (what I use for Unity) and pretty much every other language. Hope this helps!

Oh, and don’t give up! It is by no means easy and you are CONSTANTLY learning. You’ll never know it all, and will always be using docs and references, so you gotta like to read :wink:
