Good luck with your studies! I learned C from that exact book but I already had a software engineering degree. I like the structure of C. People say Python might be easier but they use indentation to set off blocks of code, which could be more error prone for some people. But I do think Python is more suited to blockchain and AI since there are lots of libraries available to use so you don't have to reinvent any functionality which already exists. Just some thoughts and I hope you enjoy learning your new coding skills! :)
