Sure python may be easier to learn, but it makes learning actual programming more difficult. Ever since the CS department switched to python, my workload as a computer systems TA has doubled.
shit I was planning on learning programming starting from python... so what now? I've got some high-school level microcontroller C memories, and I'm proficient with Ladder and simple Instruction List. I tend to learn by doing, that's why I was going for Python, it felt like I could make something straight away.
buy yourself a copy of K&R 2e (The C programming language by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie). Its not only a good c book, but a great beginner programming book in general. If you're a learn by doing guy, it has a lot of exercises you do.
i normally don't learn by reading textsbooks myself, but this book proved an exception. its inexpensive too.
