Maybe they meant an absolute beginner to C and not programming in general.
- opheliate 6y agoI definitely agree that's possible, but then they go over what a terminal is and what the "ls" command means, and how case-sensitivity and using commas in the correct places are important when programming, which strike me as things which would be assumed knowledge if the audience were expected to have any programming experience.
- 7thaccount 6y agoGood point, although a lot of programmers now use an IDE for everything, so they may have no working knowledge of the command line (or a very limited knowledge).
- mrtranscendence 6y agoI'm a beginner to C and not programming in general, but even I'd struggle to get some actionable knowledge out of skipping from "hello world" to "basic GTK application". This tells me basically nothing about how C works or how to write programs with it.
