As a matter of fact I decided that I would like to learn C/C++ only today.
I have days like that as well. Go lay down for a bit.
Why C/C++? You only "really" learn these things by using them in
anger, and they aren't terribly good programming languages in
many ways. Or perhaps I should moderate that to they are built
for speed, in much the same way taking the hand brake, and seat
belts of a car will make it go slightly faster ;)
Of course if you want to become a Linux kernel hacker then C is obligatory, but there are other programming languages....
What else have you programmed in? What will you do with this knowledge.
