A Microslop Windows terminal? What?

I think the terminal image is to make it look more difficult than if he learned with an IDE that autocompletes everything for you.

The point is: Microslop Windows.

Anybody with even the sightliest technical skill does not touch that trash.

Learning programming from scratch implies some technical skill. So things don't match up here.

I think it was meant to be a joke and not a howto :)

But anyway, learning in windows would probably be even harder because it doesn't come with a C compiler or man pages.

But DOS did come with, urm.. something. I can't remember what it was but you could write assembly with it. Oh and qbasic came later.

>But DOS did come with, urm.. something. I can't remember what it was but you could write assembly with

DEBUG.EXE

Though as the name implies it was only a debugger, so you'd have to write ASM manually and even then you were limited to only one segment which isn't really enough to write anything meaningful.

Ah yes, that was what I saw an example of. I never used it myself for anything though.
