How can I learn Java programing and scripting?

I am using unity and learning to create a video game I need to learn java or even C# to program and do scripts which I have no clue how to do, I hear Java is simpler to use, I wan't to know a free way I can learn Java (preferably) or C# (if thats all you got to give me) at home. I'm not 100% sure if I wan't to spend my life as a game develeper but it's something I would like to try, but I dont want to pay to learn. At least not yet, so If you can tell me a place that I can get started with Java or another language unity uses that would be great.

P.s if you don't know what unity is, its a game creating program that's easy to use. even thought it's easy to use I still need to know basic programming, I know it would propably be hard but Im willing to give it a shot.

    If you'd like to learn Java for free, there are a variety of tutorials available online which you may find interesting and helpful.

    If you're looking for video-based tutorials, I would suggest that you check out those offered by both TheNewBoston and PHPAcademy, which are all free and are all great in terms of quality and the information provided.

    Additionally, there are a variety of other free resources available online for learning Java and other languages, such as C#.

    For Java, Oracle, the company that develops Java, has free tutorials and other documentation on the language available on their website, which you may want to check out.

    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/

    Once you learn some Java and would like to practice what you've learned, there are also websites available online that enable you to do that for free, such as CodingBat.com, which provides exercises for both Java and Python.

    http://codingbat.com/

    CodingBat also enables users to check the solutions to the exercises that they are doing, as they are doing them, which is a great feature that allows you to know what you may be doing correctly and what you may need to change around in order to get the program to work.

    Additionally, perhaps you should take a visit to your local library or bookstore and see if there are any books on programming languages and other computer topics that you are interested in, as books can be a valuable resource for learning how to program and do other computer related things.

    If you're looking to purchase books on programming (or anything else), Amazon.com is a great place to search for and purchase them, as they have a great selection and their prices are decent, as well.

    Best of luck and I hope I helped you!
