Totally want to learn C, but I wouldn't even have thought to try if I hadn't tried ruby first. I got my first look at C digging through the Ruby source code, trying to figure out how it implemented Array.sort.
Ruby opened me up to the world of programming and I look forward to exploring the rest!
- duked 14y agoIf you're looking at how ruby implemented Array.sort you are definitely on the right track ! I'm not sure that's how all people who started with Ruby/Python are evolving but that's good. However I'm not too comfortable trying to lure people to believe that you can write a web client in 2 lines :/ PS: Got downvoted for making a usefull comment ? Seriously guys you can't give a different opinion than the crowd...
- wtracy 14y agoI upvoted you. :-) OT: Up until maybe two months ago, the moderation on my posts might not have always been what I wanted, but it at least consistently made sense. Since then, moderation has gotten increasingly erratic. Yay Eternal September?
- duked 14y agoThanks ! I just want to feel free to express an opinion that is not mean but is a change from: "great post, that's the way to go !"
- ValG 14y agoIf you want to learn C check out the CS50 from Harvard. It gives you the basics of programming (which you obviously already know), but focuses on C, and will teach you a lot of the basics. Watch the videos and do the problem sets, it will give you a broad understanding of algorithms, sorting, and C https://www.cs50.net/lectures/ https://www.cs50.net/lectures/
