Re: [OT] A question for programmers - Inspiration



I would pick up an easy but cool project. I have always taught
C with reference to writing a CGI library, because it deals with
a lot of pointer stuff and "strings" and others. I've taught C++
with reference to a neural network simulator, and I've taught LISP
by writing a compiler. There is nothing better than to work
bottom-up.

Whether C is the right way, as I've told you privately, I don't
know. I'd argue you are better off learning python for now. It's
more intuitive and allows you to become a programmer faster. Once
you know python, any other language (well, except maybe LISP and
VHDL (among others)) will be only a dialect and easy to pick up.
