Well, at this point, I don’t even know what to learn for getting an entry level CS job…so C is it. Reached chapter 17 of K.N.King’s C99, maybe read a little bit of C2x and C2y specifications, then I’ll probably start reading John Calcote’s Autotools and then metalanguage99. And I bet they won’t help me for my early career in any way or form.

    C is a great language to learn CS fundamentals, but in order to find a job I’d rather go for something like Java which is very versatile and widely used for web development.

    There are other domains than web dev that use different languages and frameworks etc. but I mention web dev first because it has a lot of demand in the market and should make job searching easier.

    I’d still recommend you learn C well first though, any other language you learn will make a lot more sense once you understand stuff with C.
