wow .. thanks. That's quite a summary on the mechanics of how it works.

Do you mean to say, it would be a bad idea to start with C coding?

No, I'm saying that knowing C and Scheme is a great foundation for future computer scientists and engineers! They lay a solid foundation upon which much can be built.

But probably not a good place to start if, like the original author, you're mainly interested in developing web apps.
