Boy is this greyfag late to the party

you are a half year late for that party

i think i will forever stick to python 2.7

i was learning some python, but ill never type a line of it again

nibbas should be using c or c++ instead anyway

what are some good resources to learn that? @M4Gunner

Hoooooo boy

Is there a question for the ages

for C read the K&R C by Kernighan and Richie

thanks

for C++, learn all of C and then learn the ++ and realize theyre not the same language 😂 🔫

Isn't K&R a bit dated at this point in C's lifespan?

to do some baby C-esque coding, I would recommend messing with arduinos and making a DOOM mod

@Legiondude if you dont know how to code or compile it will leave you lost, and i dont actually have a paper copy

i have the Kochan 😡

But the gist of it is that @AlanPowell , if you learn C++ you know C, and if you know either of those you can tackle basically anything another programming language throws at you

The trick is step 1 though

if you know c++ you do not know C

youre not doing manual memory management is what im told about this

youre not living without the QOL enhancements c++ comes with

so its not C

but learning either is 100% helpful for learning the other

Legiondude is right tho. You should look for a book involving C for modern applications. Still get the knr tho

Im reading ISO C Reference Manual by Harbison and Steele. They sit you down and really go over some specifics

So theres a lot of gaps and burning questions answered there

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/the-definitive-c-book-guide-and-list This is for C++ recommendations @AlanPowell

Very important to just find some fun source code to start hacking

Hey

Can i get a list of the BAD books?

Oh god no

btw, is that a good place to start if i dont know anything about programming?

I hate the Kochan

More or less

But youll need something noobfriendly

Try Racket for the training wheels?

Like the knr will not teach you basic coding

Autohotkey

Great middle school language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racket_(programming_language)

This was what I used for my first semester of my C.I.S. degree before we dived into C++

Zdoom scripting

@Legiondude you mean (((Racket)))?
