getlaura··on Why a Beginner Programmer Should Learn C
Good points! I especially agree with the preprocessor argument. Kind of forgot how confusing that was at first. But like everything with C, it does make you think about what's really going on.

I like the title... Why C Should Be The Second Language You Learn.

Thanks! The reality is that I probably don't realize how much I already know. I've been programming on and off for a couple years now so I was probably already hooked on coding in general before learning C.

C just opened my eyes to a lot of things. I kept having the feeling of 'how do I not already know this'. And it really clicked when I had to learn PHP and was like 'oh, so this is just a cleaner version of C'.

Anyways, thanks again!
