I’m skeptical on this being a good resource for learning to program. But It’s the first time I’ve seen Odin being used in an introductory resource. Would you recommend this to someone looking to learn programming?

    I don’t want to discourage anyone from trying it, but from the looks of it, there aren’t much resources for help if you get stuck. Compared to C, which is another low-level language, there is a community and (free) courses (like Harvard’s CS50) to help out with it being the first programming language to start your journey.

    Side note, I also believe there’s some taking advantage of from the use of the term ‘odin’ since it might sound familiar to “The Odin Project”; which is a free self-paced programming program structured to help complete beginners learn the basics towards landing your first webdev position.
