Hello, I am a basic programer from back in the 80's/90's. I moved on to visual basic and now I want to learn C. I want to eventually program in Linux.
Now, before I get on this band wagon I want to ask a few questions to make sure I am getting started out right.
-
Is C a good language to learn? I don't want to learn it if it is dwindling to nothing-ness amoung new programmers.
-
Once I get half way decent in C, is there a visual c package out there to make a lot of the coding easier?
-
Is there a development environment that will allow me to test my apps without crashing Linux? (Just want to be sure)
-
How big are the difference between programming C in windows and C in linux?
Thank you much in advance,
Eric
