[Rodolfo]

I know virtually nothing about C, but I want to learn it.

does no one program machine language anymore?  god that's the way i was
taught to program microprocessors guess i'm showing my age
( and its how i got my  self  banned from john Menzies on sauchall street
as  a kid
when i used machine  code on there zx spectrum's. to switch of the
keyboard)
the last time i programmed in C++ was in modeling leaky integrate and fire
neurons  as  my  final year project many moons  ago.
but  as i've said c, c++ and c# are   all in the  same  family. as Delphi,
and Pascal are in the same  family, Basic and  visual  basic  etc...
each language  has its uses and  specialization. and  if there is one
thing about programming and the  options available it is that there are
many and each has its pros and cons. and i don't  want  this to descend
into  an argument of the  pros and cons of one over the other.
so so  far i have  someone  wanting to learn  c++
and  someone  suggesting PHP.
do we have  any others?
what time would suit  people  to  have the first meeting and if not Monday
what  day would  people prefer.

regards
dave
