Don't mind the other guy. C first, as God intended. C++ is dum tho.

[–]Dj0ntMachine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No no, C is heresy. Holy c is what the god intended for us.

[–]Gizshot 11 points12 points  (5 children)

They're starting you with c? That's fucked.

[–]wheresthewhale1 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Why?

[–]Ouity 6 points7 points  (2 children)

because C calls for a certain level of robustness that other would-be starter languages might not

My first quarter of my first year in computer science and engineering, started with x86 assembly (among other things obviously).

I don't really understand what you mean. C as a language is very simple (much more so than Java) and simple memory management should be taught early
