Darwinbots as a Graduate Study
Numsgil:
I'd start with C, and leave all the object oriented stuff out. C is a procedural language just the same as VB, so I think they parallel better. Then when you're comfortable with C, you can figurte out all the class stuff.
I learned C from the C for Dummies books (which I highly recommend). It makes it highly entertaining. Of course, you probably know most of the programming things it'll teach you already, you jsut don't know the syntax for them.
Botsareus:
The only thing I ever learned in c was iostream.h. Since everyone is teaching this and not something practical, like make an artifisial life simulator I feel like thats the only thing c supports.
Numsgil:
C kicks ass for procedural programming. Industry standard for a decade and then some for a reason.
Of course, now everyone does OOP, so poor little ANSI C is left in the cold. C++ is hardly the best OOP language, although it does just fine.
Botsareus:
You know, after all these years, I am finally beginning to realize how backwards education systems are in a capitalist world and the reasoning behind it. :)
