Learning C
UPDATE: Making slow and steady progress :). Currently up to lesson 49, really excited for what’s in store later in the course.

It doesn’t take a close friend to tell I suck at following through with projects. The way I see it, there are three responses to this.
- Finish the damn thing; finish any outstanding projects as though they are ‘to-do’ items.
- Stop trying to do different things…
- Carry on; business as usual.
Even though I’ve pushed option one, I’m probably headed for 3…
I do plan on finishing that touch typing course eventually though, and doing parts 3 and 4 of the Alan Watts thing…hey this blog is still going after 18 months!
Anyway. C. I made a half-hearted attempt to learn Python a few months ago, following some huge book promising to be easier and more innovative than all the rest. Got a little bored of that by the time it started introducing variables.
I believe this time it will be different, though, because I’m more interested in learning at least the basics of programming and the course I’m on is considerably better.
I’m on lesson 30 at the moment, of about 130 so far with many more to come.
A comprehensive real-time course on programming for everyone from total beginner to experienced programmer.
The creator of this site is amazing, he explains things clearly and is focused on first-principles, something that always helps. I’m a big fan of K.I.S.S. as well, and coding in C fits this system better than higher level languages like Python.
Anyway I’m not that far into the course yet, but it’s already been a lot of fun. Here’s to hoping I have the wherewithal and determination to get far enough for another blog post to be necessary
