* Nathan Malcolm recommends everyone who understands PHP to learn C.
* Nathan Malcolm recommends those more proficient with OOP & PHP to jump in to C++.
* Nathan Malcolm says it's always good to know a low level language (I understand C++ isn't completely low level but more of a middle level language) as well as a high level language such as PHP.
* s3_gunzel asks about objective C
* Nathan Malcolm doesn't believe Objective C has strict typing, which he promotes as one of the main reasons he prefers using a low level language.
* Euan T has been meaning to learn C for a while
* Euan T has never had time
* Euan T also wants to learn Vala too
* Nathan Malcolm says C and PHP are very similar, for obvious reasons.
<?php
do {
print "Hello, world!\n";
} while (true);
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
do {
printf("Hello, world!\n");
} while (true);
}
* Euan T says Vala is also fairly similar
* Euan T says Vala has the added awesomeness of more simple syntax and no need to worry about pointers and such
* Euan T says Vala is also fairly similar to Java which he has to use for his uni module "Advanced Java"
* dragonexpert learned C++ in high school.
