Learning NXC. Any tips?

[jojoguy14]

Hello everyone!

Ever since I got my NXT set, I've used NXT-G. I've tried using NXC, but always quit. I want to start learning it. I have John Hansens "LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT Power Programming 2nd Edition". Is there anything I should know? Any tips that will help this learning process go smoother?

Also, quick question. In picture and tutorials I see the word "task" in bold (and others too), but when I type it, it's normal (un-bolded). I tried playing around with the editor colors and boldings/underlinings/italisizing, but it still won't go bold. I think it will be easier to read if it's bolded. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

task, if, else,while are all keywords Most editors bold them by default. When code coloring stopped working for me, I cleared BricxCC's Registry keys, but there might be an easier way to do it

I'm learning NXC too. There are many topics that i started which may help you. The best thing to learn this language, as i can see, is to practice, which i am doing on my best NXT project (coming soon). I could help you if u want, depending on my knowledge.
