- I have done some programming in BASIC. I had a class on it in college and
- do
- some small programs like developing a check book balance program in BASIC.
- I
- am getting Borland's C++ free with my new Gateway 2000 66VL-Bus computer.
-
- What I would like to know is how I should go about learning C. I got a
- book
- from Que on learning the C language. I plan to read this book and any
- other
- beginner books I can find. Is this a good way to learn C? Some of the
-
- concepts in C are a little confusing and it appears it will take me quit a
-
- while to learn C. How difficult is it to know enough about C to develop a
-
- program like a card game for instance. Am I way over my head trying to
- learn
- C, or should I master BASIC first. I heard they will come out with a
- program
- called Visual C(a take-off of Visual Basic). Would a program like this
- help
- me to program in C, or do I need to learn everything about C first.
-
- I have lots of free time to learn C, I'm just wondering if I'm over my
- head.
- Any comments would be appreciated.
