Which one should I start learning, why and with which book (someone please post the Jow Forums guide to programming picture) or website? I already know Python, and would like to know the fundamental differences between those 2 languages (besides the obvious Oriented Object meme)?
C or C++

Learn C first. It helps you understand C++ better.
Alexander Howard
c is essentially a subset of c++ for most intents and purposes
if you learn c first then you'll have a more grounded understanding of how the two generally work
but if you don't care about that and won't be making stuff that low-level then go with c++

Build real world things or get a job.
Aiden Rivera
I do have a job in Machine Learning that requires Python, which is great for that. So I build real world things for real people in the industry that I actually really talk to, retard.

I do have basic understanding of how C works even though I haven't written a line in years (I was 13 or 14 at the time, couldn't understand pointers although I do now), should I go head straight for C++? Do people actually use pure C in companies? For what purposes compared to C++?

I already used Java for past tasks (socket-servers for a MORPG I created in highschool), it's useful but ugly (inb4 implying C++ isn't) and I want to get more serious about programming without falling for the Haskell meme.

Thanks user, classic and old but very simple, non-bloated, efficient website. Exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking for.
Jaxson Martinez
depends on what you want to do. low level and massive stuff like operating systems use mostly c. generally i think c is faster, although i'm not 100% sure.
i'd try a book called cpp: the complete reference by herbert schildt. don't treat it as the bible of knowledge from that hack, but it covers both c and c++ and is a great introduction to both- very nicely worded.

C++17 had a lot lot lot new things over C.
Mason Garcia
I don't want to create the next TempleOS (although I wish), so thanks, I'll have a look to this book

is Python used for embedded software?
Nathan Watson
No, just No

C++ for opp
C for everything else
Alexander Miller
learning C++ when you know C is basically learning how to replace certain constructs and patterns with new ones. but to understand why they've been replaced, how to apply them and what actually happens when you apply them you kinda have to know a fair share of C
or you could watch videos from autists like Casey Muratori and Jonathan Blow and learn their C-but-C++ subset

but this is not for beginners at all
no, they use React and Bootstrap

Learn C and then use c++ as C and when you encounter something that seems like it should be a language feature research how to do it in c++.
Trying to learn c++ in one go is a ridiculous task that requires reading 1000 page textbooks just to get down the basics.
Owen Thomas
No embedded is C (at least where i worked)
we used Python log parsing tho
Jackson Powell
just write C in C++ and use C++ features if it makes sense
Adam Cruz
This makes sense, OP you should start small and then see if you need any extra features.
Wyatt Anderson
OK. Is "The C Programming Language" as perfect as chanted on this board? Is it self-sufficient?
Bentley Watson
C is now object oriented with ooc.
Tyler Robinson
What do you mean by self-sufficient? C has perhaps the largest stash of libraries made for multiple languages seeing as how C is seen as the lingua franca of programming languages; every single one of them tries to be compatible with it or at least provide an interface to interact with it.
Colton Reyes
I don't know in school we went python > Java > c# > c++ and now on my own I'm learning a bit of c. I think if you learn c first it may affect the way you structure your code in c++. Like how people are recommending writing c++ using c style structure which is ok but not making use of the language properly.
Robert Wilson
ooc?
Hudson Young

Hunter Reyes
neat

Learn C++ first if your not a pussy. And get this book called Beginning C++ through game programming by Michael Dawson it's basically how CHAD learns C++.
