[Bf-committers] Coding (was Dithering)

[Goran Kocov]

Point taken :)

I absolutely agree with you guys. Knowing *at least*
the basics of C should be a must. 

Also, I'm aware of my lack of knowledge of C/C++ and
of the complexity of Blender, so I promise I'll try
and learn as much as I can about programming in C
before doing anything remotely serious in Blender's
code :)
