I have to disagree with all the 'its hard' opinions as programming is a piece of cake if you know the concept. Its just C's syntax that throughs people for a loop... It didnt take me 2 years to learn, as I would have had to start leraning it at 12 lol. Rather, I just spent some spare time in the summer to make something of myself Now, taking programming courses in highschool, Im constantly 'wowing' the teacher with different approaches to accomplishing things as my technique is differ than his 'right' one, so to speak

Oh and dont be intimidated just because C is a low-level language since the lower you go, the more you can do... Think of programming as a triangle, machine code and assembly are the base, any variation of C is next, than all the scripting languages bridge the gap from that to the top. Personally, I started with LUA... Not having a computer, i HAD to use it since it didnt require compilation making it editable and runnable from teh PSP... the next summer, i got acomputer for christmas, yay!... Thats when i started C... In June i believe...

Blah, its your decision
