The beginning!

Hi! I'm Nicko! I am just starting out with front-end and will be moving to backend as well. I feel OK with HTML and CSS, working on learning JavaScript and then off to C#. Feel free to offer any recommendations or just say HI! looking forward to hearing from you all!

You should reconsider the choice of C#. It can be cumbersome to work with. Try C. (No joke.) Or maybe Go is for you?

or just say HI!

HI!

Hi Tux0r!

I haven't heard of Go yet but I will carve out some time research on it today. I do see what you mean with the learning of C and I will defiantly see which one is best for me. I actually plan on learning everything! for all the phenomenal cosmic power! Not sure how well that will work out tho lol.

Thank you!

Would you mind elaborating on that? I've been looking at learning C# as an intro to Windows development, with some basic experience in C/C++. You think I would be better served sticking to C while exploring the Windows ecosystem?

Even on Windows, the system API ("WinAPI") has a C interface, while C# abstracts too much of it. I usually prefer not having too much overhead. I admit that C# will probably give you a faster result - which will run notably slower and hog much more RAM. :-)

Gotcha - that makes sense. I guess I hadn't really expected C# to come anywhere even close to C in terms of resource usage, but it seemed to be so well integrated with the operating system that it was a natural jumping off point.

Thanks!
