I know just some Python, but I wanna get into C and deeper into

Modern C++ is more pythonish than C is. Learn C if you want, but you'd be better of with C++.

I've been told deviating from the Python style of programming will make me good. Why C++ should be better for me?

I will have to engage into other style of languages in the end, like JavaScript or similar not-so-easy to read languages...

C is good if you want to focus on few concepts and get very good at them

C++ is good if you want to learn how to operate a swiss army knife, which is to say, C++ can do so much that learning it is tedious

Which book is best really depends on you, but that should be fine.

Most general programming concepts will transfer pretty well, although obviously C is not object oriented. The things that will fuck you in the ass since you are coming from Python are (probably) strict typing, and (almost certainly) having to manage memory. You are going to leak memory and segfault like a motherfucker until you get it down. You will probably need to get familiar with a debugger to hunt down those issues. Once you get a handle on memory management, transitioning to C++ is fairly easy, especially since you are already familiar with OO concepts with Python.

Well, in that regard C++ is a big boy language. It has a proper static type system, so you'll have to grapple with that, but there's templates if you want something like duck typing (a bit of a pain/clusterfuck sometimes, though).

I'm just saying a lot of the useful things you'd want from python (namespaces, OOP with multiple inheritence, lambdas and higher order functions, exceptions, etc.) are there with C++, though you still have the low-level access of C.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm seeing lot's of issues with C here. What's the point on learning C and a non-OOP language nowadays, then?

My objective is just to get a better grasp of the nature of CS since I'm just a noob although I made some programs with Python during the last year.

Go is the best one for everything

That's a good book. Also recommended is pic related.

>>57182205
Just piss off lad.

So you actually learn programming rather than getting carried away with the intricacies of a very complex language.

>>57182446
A Go is fine too.

A lot of compilers are written in C

If you want to go into electronics or design of the hardware, or communication with hardware you will pretty much only use C or Assembly

>what's the point of learning C today
A lot if stuff is still written in C, and a lot of embedded systems don't have a C++ compiler.

If you're working from scratch, C++ is strictly an imprivement from C. You could write C++ like it's C, or just a small superset of it.

top kek

Not LLVM.

Fuck off. I'm out camping, and touchscreen typing is horrible.

>>57182479
Do you recommend those two over something like "The C programming language" by K&R for a newbie on C?
