Ouch.  Don't start with C!  Start with Python, and you
may well never need to learn C.  If you ever do need to,
you will be a better C programmer for having started with
Python.

But if you think you should start with C before learning
Python, then you'd better back up a little and learn
assembly language before C.  No, wait!  We should all
learn how to write _microcode_ for CPUs before we learn
assembly...
