2: From Python to C

To quickly get up to speed with C, we translate some Python code to C and compare and contrast the two languages to prepare you for Chapter 1 of the book. This course assumes you know at least Python and hopefully passing understanding of JavaScript and maybe even PHP, so the overall C syntax should not be 100% new to you.
