Quoted from markmon:
I am sure you can develop on C++ as well. They probably just made a C# library set and examples. But unity can work with C++. Also you don't have to use unity. That's only if you want cool 3D graphics. A lot could be done with static images and video sequences. I bet something neat could even be built out of the flash sdk.

Unity even supports JavaScript. I am really into learning Unity with my oldest son. He is doing the tutorials and having a lot of fun with it.

Quoted from solarvalue:
I found this free set of video tutorials called "C# Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners" on the Microsoft Virtual Academy:
https://mva.microsoft.com/en-US/training-courses/c-fundamentals-for-absolute-beginners-16169?l=xXJ2mTRIC_1306218949
The tutorials seem good, the host explains things clearly and it moves pretty slowly.
I watched the introduction and did the first tutorial tonight. Then I completed the small test at the end. So far so good, it felt satisfying to write my first lines of code.

The tutorials you can find from the Unity website are pretty great too. My son had a rolling ball game that has you collecting blocks running in an evening. It was using C# in the tutorial.
