So coming from the interpreted language world (mainly using python), I'm always amazed on how compiled languages work. Especially C.

Every time I use C, it's like everything is sooooo faster (runtime), and yes I've read about it so many times. It's just that I can't explain this great feeling about actually seeing the results of using C.

Man, I think I just love C (even though I'm still confused in using pointers).

@irene second that. Maybe go with C++11 upwards... Or skim through the Core-Guidelines?

I seriously don't get where all this confusion about pointers is coming from ._.

It's literally just a memory location. If you've used managed languages before and know what a reference is: a pointer is basically the same

Well, you can't do pointer arithmetics on references, can you?

First cover C to the fullest, then advance to C++. If you master the basics first, learning C++ will be a lot easier.

I'd recommend "Mastering algorithms with C" (ISBN 978-1565924536). If you read that, you are well prepared for the next level.
