Right now I’m learning how to program in C.
Yeah, I like to kick it “old school.”
I have never really learned programming very well, and I determined that in 2014 I’m going to become an intermediate programmer.
So why the C language?
It dates back to the early 1970s when a couple guys wrote it to create a UNIX computer at Bell Labs.
C is tight, concise, and can be used across all sorts of computer platforms. Even your calculator can probably run the C language.
Here’s what’s really cool…
Most of the commonly used programming languages today are actually built on the original C programming platform.
In a way, the programs and websites that you use every day are kind of like “the children” of the C language.
Like Children of the Corn.
Well * actually * now that I think about it, there are absolutely no similarities at all to the movie.
Whatsoever.
Anyhoo…
Like you might want to learn Latin to build a foundation before studying French, Spanish, or Portuguese, learning C helps to build that programming foundation.
I’d like to someday build cloud based Web applications for clients, and to do that I need to learn how to program in PHP. I’m laying the foundation today (tonight actually, after the kids go to bed) by writing code in the C language.
That’s my way too many cents.
This I do know for sure.
There are certain “programs” that I – ok, we – are very good at executing right now.
* Laboratory testing for frac sand to exacting API specs? Excellent program.
* API testing for drilling grade barite? Hoorah barite.
* Helping you find your path to success by superbly executing our (expensive) monthly newsletter Frac Sand Fortunes? Oh yeah.
To start “executing” some of our excellent existing “programs” with us, send me an e-mail.
