Hello. I just joined.
I would like to learn every computer programming language - No career intent, just a hobby, so no pressure to pick one and specialize in it - but for now I would like to learn C programming.
I notice there’s a tag for Javascript, and a tag for Python, and on the way in I think I saw some dedicated sections for those too.
I wonder if there’s also a tag/subforum/etc for C? If there is, where is it? If not, how do I categorize questions about C?
On a side note, please don’t take this as any sort of accusation. I concede I may have scrolled right past it. Please understand that I understand that just because I didn’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
Hi @I_askyouradvice !
Welcome to the forum!
There is no sub section on the forum for C because the forum primarily focuses on web development.
For questions on C, you can post in the General section.
There are hundreds of languages which includes the popular ones and less common ones.
Some maybe you just want to learn the commonly used ones? 
I agree that I wouldn’t chase all languages - focus on the ones that let you build the sorts of things that you are interested in.
I work in C, so if you post C questions to #general I’ll get around to answering them as I see them.
I strongly appreciate your prompt, detailed and courteous response.
You have my thanks for clarifying on sections. I register now to share my C questions here in General - if I can work up the guts and the mental maturity, that is.
For programming languages, I do want to prioritize multi-platform languages.
For a list of the languages across human history? I want to dabble in each eventually. I’ve cowed from the fear of non-achievement for long enough.
Right now there aren’t enough people regularly talking about C in the forum for it to need its own subforum. Any language that doesn’t have a subforum can always be asked about in the General subforum. It might help to put the language in the title of the post, so people (mostly @JeremyLT for C) can easily spot it.
Obviously you’re not going to learn all programming languages, but I think that learning from different language families and different application areas is a perfectly good goal. C is a pretty foundational language, so it’s a good one to learn if you are trying to learn about programming broadly.
Here is an incomplete list of programming languages:
It just isn’t realistic to ‘dabble’ in them all, and it isn’t really useful either.
For C courses, you can start with freeCodeCamp’s Youtube course for beginners.
Then you can take cs50, which focuses on C for the first half of the course.
That is a great course to start learning Computer Science basics.
I took it when I first started learning and really enjoyed it.
I admit you are right, however much it hurts.
The forum folks around here seem to accredit you as the go-to fellow for C advice on this forum. Your tough-truth point gives me reason to focus now on C - for which I apologize in advance to your inbox.
That’s alright, Jeremy enjoys teaching people about C as a way to avoid actually having to code in C.
