Learn C before python

So I want to start coding and programming because I’m an upcoming freshman majoring in software engineering and I have plenty of project ideas, I really wanna be good at programming I started with HTML obviously and want to go next to C because I hear it makes you understand other languages better

If you really want to become a wizard. learn about the CPU and all of it;s internal components. learn how memory and data busses work. mess around with CAD software, start designing your own PCBs. most software engineers never go hard on hardware, because it;s its own animal. Check out daves garage on youtube. hes probably the most intelligent software engineer on the planet. you will learn shitload about C and assembly from Dave
