Man I want to hug you for this. I am so glad you were able to make it work. I'm just going to do it too, it can't hurt me at this point, and I felt very much the same as you. My doubts are what has kept me from actually doing it. Is there any reason you started C first before Python/Ruby? Probably a stupid question, but I don't even have a basic grasp of the differences or if it even matters. Thanks for posting this.

I wanted to make iOS apps, which uses primarily uses Objective-C. After a bit of trying to learn, I found that Obj-C resources weren't very good. Some suggested that I should learn C first, which is where Objective-C was based off of, so I figured I'd do that.
In terms of your choice of language, first figure out what you want to make. Web apps? Mobile apps? Desktop software? That will let you know your options for languages.
