You won't come far before you stumble over coding when using Unity. JavaScript is fairly easy to learn because you don't have to worry about data types which you do in C#. If you want to get started quickly I suggest you learn JavaScript and if you're still programming after some months and you like it, then you should probably start thinking about learning C#.

Codecademy will easily get you started on JavaScript. http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript

There are also various books about both JavaScript and C#. Search for it on Amazon and you'll find a ton.

"JavaScript is fairly easy to learn because you don't have to worry about data types which you do in C#" wrong, javascript cares about type just as much as C#, only does the compiler do some works for you but in the end you get the same cast issues.

"Codecademy will easily get you started on JavaScript. http://www.codecademy.com/tracks/javascript" 100% wrong since javascript is not UnityScript

You're right. All I meant was that you can simply declare variables using the keyword 'Var' - but you'll still have the cast issues, true.

Unity has many components that you won't hear of on Codecademy's site, but I thought it would be a great place to start learning basic program$$anonymous$$g as he said "I m a multimedia student,i dont know anything about program$$anonymous$$g.". Then when he knows the basics of program$$anonymous$$g he could start exploring Unity's Learning Section and get used to Unity.

Good points you had though.

Thnx,ur ans helped me lot.Should i learn c before learning java??Is it necessary?

I'd suggest that you learn C#. Unity Technologies created their own kind of JavaScript designed for Unity and learning C# gets you prepared for other program$$anonymous$$g languages that look alike.

You can do either of them and you can do both, it's really up to you. It's not necesarry to learn C# before learning Java - and vice versa.

Take a look at Unity Technologies' program$$anonymous$$g section.

Ah, yeah. Forgot all about Unity's Learning Section. @noolivenkatesh - You will find all the information you need there. You can find all about Unity's components and also a program$$anonymous$$g section.

http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules

Once in a while they do live training streams that are free of charge, which you also can benefit from.
