Well, I hardly see how something which *includes* C (and a good bunch of
other stuff) could ever be easier than C itself... Not speaking that all
those Pascal people who had the misfortune to saw things like
"i++>++j?i++:++j" did never regard C to be remarkably easy ;)
By the way: if you could somehow put yourself into a beginner's shoes,
and with the help of a good editor, you would make a good author for the
book(s) I'm hoping to see someday.
Thanks. Matter of factly, I've written twenty-odd ones already, alas, in
Czech. Including a Cocoa-learning one (this one not a book, but an article
series in local Chip). Offered (a translation of) the latter to O'Reilly,
even, but oops.
If you happen to know of a publisher who is interested, I'd be just
*delighted* to try. My teacher skills are said not to be that bad, after
all (although that's something others have to judge).
You can take that as a very big compliment since in general I don't care
for you very much.
To be frank, the sentiment is sorta mutual. Nevertheless, it happens to be
a reason why I *do* take that as a big compliment and am *very* thankful
indeed. After all you would hardly want to flatter me, which means
something. Thanks!
Nice sense of humor, though!
Thanks again. Matter of factly I've always preferred a writing style of,
if one can say so, somewhat anglo-saxon breed, to the grim continental
references. Having occassionally some problems with that here, but still
am trying to keep those text to be not just informing, but a fun, too...
