Re: [PLUG] Places to learn Linux and C around Philadelphia?


I won’t rant about AI, but please keep in mind when asking it to teach you things; it does not fact check, and it will tell you untrue/incorrect things if it thinks that’s what you want/need to hear. Check everything on your own.

There have been excellent suggestions so far.  I'll add to them by
suggesting you engage the free ChatGPT for anything that comes to mind.
While it is not a person, you get immediate feedback, excellent
explanations, and direct help with programming or errors.

https://chat.openai.com/

Describe what you want, why you want it, and how far along the
path you are.

Something simple like:

- I'm interested in learning to program in C
- I want to be able to ___
- I have experience with ___

etc.
