4: A "real" programming language?

After the somewhat demoralising experience of my 'byte-sized' CS50 attempt, those subsequent courses in the fundamentals gave me back some confidence in my ability to overcome the initially daunting challenge of learning to code.

I felt like the time was right to sample something a bit more hearty; to start learning a 'real' programming language.
