Re: How did you learn to program?
Like tawnos23 some of first programming experiences were on my TI-83. Though my first computer language was VB 6. The thing I like about VB was how simple it was to read. It allows someone who really doesn't know much about programming to really just jump in. If you really just want to learn how to program for FRC I wouldn't really bother with an actual C book, I would check out a lot of the whitepapers here.
