- Learn C. It's tough, but if you stick with it, you can learn it just as
- easily as someone with Basic skills. Once you learn c, pascal is no
- problem, and C++ is similar to c so it shouldnt be too hard.

- You need a compiler (I would recommend codewarrior if you have a mac).
- Then you need some books to learn a language. If you have a pc, buy a mac
- so you can run codewarrior, heh heh (it's truly a great C/C++/Pascal
- compiler.) I would recommend Learn C on the Macintosh, second edition by
- dave mark, if you have a mac. I would also recommend Teach Yourself C by
- Herbert shildt if you have a pc. The book by Dave Mark comes with a cd of
- the demo version of Codewarrior, so you could try it out.
-
- ps. I went through everything you are going through now about 2 months
- ago when I started learning C, so feel free to ask me any questions you
- have.
