Hello guys!
It's been some time and I have been busy. I got my qualification as an IT-Professional now (Systems Administrator).
I learned VB.NET at school but I don't want to continue using that language, I want to learn C because I'm working with Linux/UNIX most of the time, also I do electronics and will get a Arduino soon.
I learned VB.NET (basics) the "school" way. Like how to programm a class or how the syntax of a while-loop is. I heard Richard Stallman say that you should obtain some open-source software and "expand it" by adding code or changing the software to fit your needs. I mean, after 1 year VB.NET I must say I can't use the language properly, that gets me thinking.
I already got a book about C (Galileo Computing, german site) which reads pretty well, I've been working with that.
I think that if you work hard enough, you can always reach a goal. I just want to go in the right direction from the start because I don't want to waste any time.
So here are my questions:
1. What's the best way to get started? Should I look for a projekt to programm (maybe from
Rosetta Code) and start at that or should I go through C step-by-step like:
1. Data-Types
2. printf
3. scanf
4. while
5. for
...
2. How did you get started?
3. Are there any sites/books/youtube videos that you can recommend me?
greetings,
nick.
