New to C

Hello community,
I am new to C and I started right away with C#, is that a bad move to make?
I heard I should start with C first..
I already know about VB, SQL, CSS but never tried C before.
Where should I start?

I started with c++ but I had a teacher so yeah...
I think that it's fine starting with c# as long as you dont give up you'll be fine.
If you don't have a teacher, watch some YT tutorials and read the documentation.
When you think you are redy and you are geting good, I recomend going to codewars.com, there are lots of litle asingments you can do.

Good luck Smile

What drives you to use C? Generally C is outdated, If you're looking for Native, use C++. But if you really want low level, why not just go all out and use Assembly? There's only benefits to using C++ over C, including the fact that C++ can include and use C code on top of all it's other benefits.

C++ is hard to learn if you have no prior programming experience, so going from C# to C is not a bad move, the more languages you know the better.

How come c++ is hard to learn if you have no prior programming experience?

No, it is a bad move. There is almost no advantage to C over C++. And going from and language to C is immensely complex. C# to C++ however would be fairly easy considering that the two languages are modled simmilarly

Well actually c++ was my first programming language and learning it wasn't that hard

Maybe I'll keep on learning languages individually, since I started learning C# i'll keep going with that, even if C and C# are similar using C to code in C# poses a challenge itself. What I've found so far is that C# together with VB, Ruby, Javascript, Jquery SQL are the most commonly used languages.
