>>11006621I bought some big ass Matlab book that was recommended for the programming course I had to take in the first year of civil engineering, maybe it was a great book but I never opened it. I just fucked around and whenever I encountered a problem I googled "Matlab, how to do thing".
also, use the "help *name of command*" feature a lot, it's great
>>11006649>>11006668>>11006753going with a "real" programming language because technically it's a better introduction to programming is retarded advice for someone who's just trying to learn Matlab for school
but yeah OP, go with their advice if you want to throw rocks into your own road so you have a better possibility of falling back on becoming a codemonkey at some point, lel.
but seriously, going to Python or even C after Matlab if you really want to is definitely not hard.
I personally like sperging out in Haskell and shit in my free time, but when I need to do any form of programming since my graduation, I just use Scilab since it's pretty much exactly like Matlab but free
