You go with some oddball product with all these claims, you're still going to have to learn how to use the product. In the end it's limited what you can do with it and the knowledge gained is nearly useless since it's all product-specific.
Parallax spent a lot of marketing to give people the impression that C or asm were too hard for an introductory user, and you needed their expensive BASIC Stamp product to get started. I believe this is misinformation. |
ASM/C is extremely hard to learn when you have no background to work with. I found it extremely difficult to learn programming languages until I understood the architecture behind what I was working with, which takes a lot of studying.
