Good afternoon everyone,
A quick introduction, I currently do help-desk support for a graphics card manufacturer named XFX. Been doing it for a few years and dealing with graphics cards is how I came to know about bitcoin technology in the first place (customers calling about frying their cards mining). Anyways, I've been in the crypto space for over a year now and I realized that most of my time is spent on the sidelines, listening to Letstalkbitcoin and really only grasping the economic and social impact digital currency brings to the table...
Until now that is. My resolution for this year has been to learn to become a programmer, I want to really get involved in this world from a developers standpoint. Technically I have a degree in networking (even though I never use what i learned doing helpdesk) and I did take a semester years ago on python but to be frank up until now if I saw any sort of code it was jibberish.
So I finally made the choice to jump in seriously and I'm just about done with a really great course that has taught me the basics of "C", I learned arrays, pointers and most recently loops. In fact this entire experience makes me feel young again all giddy with excitement because the first program I created after learning how loops work was a program which prints "Your Mom" over and over and over until it runs out your memory and crashes your computer (because I purposely turned it into an infinite loop) and I realized omg i can really mess with someone if I sent them this program lol.
Ok finally to the point of this message. I was thinking the quickest path to becoming a dev worth hiring or joining a startup in the crypto world was that after I finish learning C I should go to C++ and python? I'm not sure...I guess what I'm saying is, is there any experienced programmers who can give me tips or advice on how I should proceed once i've finished my C course in such a way that I can really get on the fast track to crypto related coding?
Please don't hesitate to respond here or pm me. Thank you.
