I guess i will just have to learn to code.

omg, is this the wrong time to do that.. all of the good paying coding jobs are but a fading memory from the past.. microsoft sends all of its work to india.. there are subcontractor programming job websites where people fight over fifty dollar per day programming jobs..

hey, why dont you learn perl or python, lol..

i have been coding C for thirty years now, and the market is dead.

I am learning Python. Is that a good idea?

[–]PastorJohnny 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

python has a very large userbase.. i understand that they use python for teaching purposes at the university level.. a large userbase means that there is a lot of code and it has a lot of eyes debugging python..

on google, they say that python takes approx thirty times as long to execute as does C language, but for most purposes python is plenty fast..

programming python, you would probably end up finding work a lot faster than as a C programmer.

i like C because i enjoy programming microcontrollers, and actually my preference there is to use assembler.

i dont know what level you are at, but maybe you might enjoy looking at the microchip company's curiosity development boards..

and i definitely encourage you to look at the adafruit line of arduino products:

if you want to look at an extremely underrated microcontroller, take a look at the parallax propeller:

if you learn C, i suggest that you give a serious look at the CodeBlocks IDE: https://www.codeblocks.org/

i do not personally use the ide portion of codeblocks, but instead i use the gcc C compiler that works at the dos prompt of windows 10.

btw, my first computer was purchased from a pawn shop in 1983.. it sat there in two milk crates.. i paid fifty bucks for it.

happy coding.
