    I know you can't learn code overnight!
    I am quite young as well I'm only a teenager!

    hey,

    i am also new and learning as well, i have been at it for a few weeks now, and i am starting to pick up some basic concepts, and working on a clicker game as my project now.

    What i did was started to watch the lets make a (fill in the blank) in unity. tutorials on youtube and then following along. it is slow and tedious at first, but it is working for me. now that ive done that, i am starting to work on my own project, and checking in on the documentation is really huge, and then asking questions on here about the best way to achieve a desired out come. the community here is really great for the most part, and is really helpful.

    also there are some decent free apps, and tutorials online. Oh, and i decided to go with C# at first i was going between that and java and that just confused me even more. once i decided to stick to learning c# first to use with unity things started to make more sence.

    hope that helps a bit, just lots of reading, and youtube tutorials, but if you are determined to learn it is defiantly possible. if i find any other solid resources ill let you know!

    Start with tutorials and it will be sort of be an introduction to C# as well:
    http://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/modules/

    Once you learn one language, you can generally understand/figure out what other programming languages are trying do as well. If you need to learn some basic coding concepts, start here (has tons of free beginner tutorials):

    http://code.org is various programming languages.

    But as I said, if you need to learn "some basic coding concepts" then any language will do to get started. You can then apply what you learn with one language to another. An example would be understanding IF THEN statements. If you understand how they work in one language then you can apply it to any language (usually with just some minor syntax changes).
