[Blindmath] MATLAB & JAWS

[Lucas Radaelli]

I Disagree with Michael in this point.

I consider c programing one of the best things for a programmer get to
know, because it gives you a idea of what is really program computers.
If you combine a c programing course with assembly, you have an exact
idea of what's is going on. You will be a much more better python
programer.

Although most of the projects that I have been working right now I am
using python, c is a more powerful language and teaches you what is
going on behind the scenes.

Cheers.
