http://www.youtube.com/user/tornadotwins I can seriously recommend this. I was a total noob at Unity 2 weeks ago. Now from only watching half of that series, I have made a game. You should really pick this option.

Ah... thanks m8! That one really helped me! best answer so far :P

The TornadoTwins really helped me too... They are very awesome!

I am just starting too, and I found that working through the 3dplatform tutorial and the scripting tutorial were a great place to start. Then browsing through the API so I wasn't duplicating work. Good Luck!

Im at total n00bcake at english so these tutorials are hard for me to understand. But thanks anyways :) Anton

If you're just starting out and no nothing, I would really recommend the Tornado Twins training CDs over at VTC.

The CDs cover Unity 2.6, but since it's covering the fundamentals all the material still applies to Unity 3. FWIW, both courses cover a lot of the same material so if you're on a tight budget then I would only get the first course - Game Development Using Unity 3D.

Tried to purchase the CDs but those guys dont ship their stuff to Sweden! thanks anyways// Anton

In this Answer is also a huge bunch of links for learnig http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/4897/how-can-i-start-learning-unity-fast

Read, and I mean REALLY read the manual, reference guide, and scripting API, along with doing the tutorials. Even if you aren't planning on using a particular feature or function right away, you want bells to go off in your head later on, "I remember there's a function for that."

Not sure if someone has already mentioned this as a good website to use but it has helped me!

http://www.unity3dstudent.com/

it deals with not only the unity basics but also Javascripting and helpful tips and tricks to get good fast!

Really do hope that this website has helped you!
