How fluent do I need to be in JavaScript before taking a crack at Unity's tutorials?

you don't need to know JavaScript at all to start cracking away at Unity's tutorials. you will learn a lot from the tutorials themselves and also I encourage you to check out www.codeacademy.com if you really want to get into JavaScript. but the Unity tutorials are a great place to start, especially since many of the scripts are written for you. your job is just to understand what you need to manipulate to get your desired result.

no need to use huge bold letters. we aren't stupid.

Well, that's Fattie as we know him ;) Sure you will never know how fast someone can learn. Program$$anonymous$$g and program$$anonymous$$g languages follow basic logic, it depends on how skilled someone is in logical thinking ;)

Also if you want to understand a virtual 3D world it's also vital to have a good "visual thinking" as well. Some learn really fast, some don't. How hard it is to learn something depends mostly on the person and not on the topic ;)

That's why $$anonymous$$ryptos answer fits best in my opinion. If you're not familiar with program$$anonymous$$g in general, it's better to stick with one language. It's just confusing when you work with different languages especially when they are based on a completely different syntax / concept.

you are one of those people who think that talking over people makes your point correct. unfortunately you just lose credibility and make people feel like they either a) can't read or b) can't comprehend the information at a lower, non bold font. your links are irrelevant.
