[Swlug] C Programming Book Recommendations

[Alan Gray]

Hello Morgan,
I agree that 'C' is probably not the best for a beginner. It's a very useful language, but the basic level of operation is very close to the internal machine language of the computer. It will tie you in knots, especially if just working from a book.

Years ago it was 'BASIC' or Beginners All purpose Symbolic Instruction Code, but things have moved on. Python, as suggested, is widely considered the current equivalent.

Regards 
Alan Gray (in Tredegar)
