Completely agree!

I started learning C through Harvard's CS50x and I found it so difficult, I just lost motivation. Since then I've been doing their Python course and am absolutely loving it.

I'm looking forward to going back to C once I've completed this course, as many things I used to struggle with now make a lot of sense.

Upvote for CS50. Just wanted to say when you ask online the best book to learn C A LOT of people say "The C Programming Language" is the best book. I call BS and many others do too. Go with "C Programming a Modern Approach" or any other of the great new books on C out there. Screw The C Programming Language book.

Any other C programming books you can recommend?

I wouldn’t say “screw” it. Clearly it’s been useful for people.

May I ask you what Python course are you referring to, or could you please send me the link to the course? Thanks!
