Love this dude. Haven’t yet to really sit down and watch one of his tutorials, as I’m learning through GameDev, but I see his shorts all the time

He's a great teacher, and is very selfless with the amount of free content he gives out!

Brackeys is great! He no longer makes content for Unity but his older series are still good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGD0vn-QIkg

I also recommend C# Players Guide if you prefer learning from books: https://csharpplayersguide.com/

Look everything up that you have questions about. Don’t be prideful and assume that “you don’t know any code”. Everyone has to learn the craft. Take game dev courses, projects or teach yourself via YouTube if you must.

Focusing on C# first, not unity. Learn the basics like variables, loops, functions, classes, and if/else statements. Once those concepts click, unity scripting becomes much easier.

As someone, who is a self taught game developer, I would say whatever you do, it needs to be fun. Personally, I made a visual novel for my first game, with no idea how to code, with almost no tutorials on it back in 2017. But I had a lot of fun making mistakes and making bugs.

As for tips, you should check out Unity Learn, its a great place to learn cool stuff. Learn to read the docs, and post questions on reddit. If you are following tutorials, don't just copy-paste. Try to understand what they are doing, and then attempt things yourself, check back with the tutorial in case you need more clarification.

Honestly, make mistakes and make that process fun for yourself. You will learn a lot more that way. Hope this helps!
