Even though I have a ton of projects and have no business picking up anything else, I have finally started learning C, something that I've put off for 25 years. Decided to go with Learn C the Hard Way, anyone have any opinions/advice? #C #programming
@charlescodes I'm taking my time, only 3 lessons in. I've heard good things about Rust. I program as a hobby and for basic things I need. I really want to understand lower level stuff and get to the point where I could actually contribute to a project. The learning curve is steep for non professionals.
@daniel ah, cool. Hobby programming is best programming :). Good luck, have fun!
@daniel add as much comments you can in your code, as my teacher told me once: a code without any comments is useless!
@daniel
If you have pretty good programming background( mostly on algorithms and understanding how software works) the Stroutstrup C++ book is a pretty good book to read

@daniel anyway you learn C is the hard way. I'm a few days late, how'd it go?
Learn enough C to read it, then learn Rust. If you encounter any C code that confuses you, convert it to Rust.
