Answer» Hi - I enjoyed reading "Never heard of operating system".

It seems to me you think "C" is the best place to start if a person wants to learn programing. Is "C" available in any study at home format.

Both of these books had an example of how to write a program. If you followed their example you could write a program that would print "hello world". I could not get the programs to work because when I clicked on places they wanted me to, the result would sometimes be different than the example shown in the book. I may get some one to help me.
