I don't know if I qualify as a "competent programmer" (you'd have to ask my co-workers), but I started with hi-level scripting languages, event-driven programming, and OO. Only then did I learn lower-level languages (C, Pascal, and bits of 68k assembly). Being familiar with fondamental *programming* concepts like vars, branching, looping and functions proved to be helpful when learning C, since I only had then to focus on pointers and memory management. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
