Where can i find good beginner Javascript tutorials for Unity?
I have looked around and i can't really find any good tutorials for Javascript in Unity. I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQaAGmHNn9s but that is with html stuff and i can't really fit that into unity. So is there a tutorial series like that one, but with Unity?
If you're really just starting out, I would suggest you go with C# ins$$anonymous$$d of javascript. The language itself is powerful and beautiful, and has a lot more usage outside of Unity. I don't know of any video tutorials (although I'm sure they're out there), but there is a great iOS C# tutorial to create a touch game. You can find it here: http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/penelope
Tornado Twins have a video series for Unity Script (Javascript). DO NOT attempt to do an HT$$anonymous$$L Javascript tutorial and relate it - Javascript in Unity is not real Javascript - it is a .NET language more like Action Script.
Well, sorry @whydoidoit I beg to differ on the Tornado Twins. As I have been through their tutorials (2 of them including a commercial one) when I started I would not recommend them. First because they tend to use simplicity over good practice, second because they turned into some sales man, and lastly because their tutorials are approximate. They sometimes go on with a "It works perfectly" when you can clearly see on your screen it does not.
I would rather recommend the burgzergarcade or the 3d student. I have seen I think it was Eteeski being popular on Youtube but I am not sure of the value.
Sometimes I wonder what it would look like if the top karma people of the community would join up in a tutorial...Looking at the amount of time spent to help here and the quality of some of the advice, it would probably be great. On top of that, there would be all levels which I think is an issue since there are few or no advanced books about Unity in libraries.

im currently using this book and i would highly recommended to any1 :"Creating Games With Unity and Maya by Adam Watkins" u kud skip that part about maya and just go straight to the scripting
Well,when the Unity part kicks in, then it goes ok for beginners. $$anonymous$$y problem with that book was the length of the $$anonymous$$aya part, about 2/3 of it...as you said, just skip it.
