Starting Unity/Programming from scratch
Hi, I'm 100% fresh to Unity, and I'd very much like to learn how to use it. I took a C++ class in high school about 10 years ago, and remember nothing about the programming. So, I'm basically starting out 100% fresh to Unity, and have no programming experience either. From what I have read, people suggest learning JavaScript instead of C#.
Where do I start? Should I start by learning JavaScript by itself, or along-side Unity? I have also heard that the Unity-Java is a bit different.
Any push in the right direction is greatly appreciated :)
I would recommend reading through this:
My personal opinion:
Javascript is easier to get started with, no need to declare classes being a main reason
c# tends to be easier later on, as there are far more tutorials about the language about, as it's a standardized language.
It's fairly easy to change between the two, so consider starting with javascript to get the hang of things, then looking at c# again in a week or two to decide properly
For where to start, I would consider learning in unity itself, web javascript isn't going to be the same as unityscript, and beginner c# tutorials tend to rely too much on compiling a main method
There is a pretty decent list of tutorials to look at:
As well as a reasonable amount of documentation on the wiki to get started (tips, tricks and tools, plus tutorials):

Well said, i love C# especially because you have full IntelliSense support on the Unity API even in the free Visual C# Express.
Javascript does too with the newer monodevelop so I left that one out from the discussion, but it's a fair point.
