You will learn some about c, but you won't learn to write strictly c code, no. You can take what you learn and apply it though. I never learned c, but I can sit down and write c if/when I need to.

If you want to get into programming c++ will give you a headache, but will make other languages easier to understand. Just ask Tyler, I told him go that rout and he almost lost his hair, but now he is doing more then was a few years ago with more languages then can count..

C I figured these are being used the most in web development and custom applications. So, where does Python come in? How would you compare Python with Java, PHP, and C?? Can anybody give me an example of what cannot be developed in PHP which can be developed in Python? Or how about Java vs Python if PHP is to lowly? I have just heard PHP has limitations. H.R.

If you'd like to exchange notes here and there and sort of go through something at the same time, I welcome that. It's good to think about having a partner to bounce thoughts around with. Maybe we could create a plan to go through some of the material and sit down for maybe a half hour a week to encourage one another.Thanks. Jim Jim Homme, Usability Services, Phone: 412-544-1810.

I don't know how many of you may know this but MIT puts a bunch of their courses on a site that they make available to everyone called OCW which is short for Open Courseware. I've found a nice link in this site to their Introduction to Computer Science and Programming course which was taught in fall 2008. It's a whole semester's worth of lectures, assignments, readings and so forth. Most of us probably can't afford to take time off our jobs and attend MIT but, we can still get the benefit of some of their excelent curriculum this way. I think it beats just reading a book and learning that way. Posting the link below. The language they use for this course is Python. I'm actually planning to put c++ on pause for a while while I take this course as time allows since Python appears to be a much quicker way to learn programming. If anyone wants to join me for the occasional study session, e-mail me privately and we can help each other out from time to time. Probably watch two hours worth of lectures on a weekend night or something like that. And yes, if anyone's curious, they do have a c++ introductory course there but it's all lecture notes and pdf's. The lecture notes look like they don't do squat for you if you didn't attend class as really good lecture notes written by any self-respecting instructor should in order to motivate you to show up for class. The cs course with Python has all the bells and whistles short of truly being able to enroll and have the instructor available.
