You are at the right path!
Programming is not the language (c, c++, MQL4, PHP etc) but programming is how to think like the programmers!
The book you have will drive you to the MQL4 better than starting with MQL4 without any programming concepts!
c language is the best (and hardest) high level lanaguage has ever made!

Should I continue learning C to help me become more familiar with MQL4 or should I delve right into MQL4?
I don't want to waste time, but since looking at the C book, going back to MQL4 codes seem more readable.
I tried understanding the dictionary to certain functions, commands etc in MQL4, but that stuff is so cryptic.
I figure I learn C to get the basics of coding and familiarity of some of the rules in C which I seem to find familiarities with in MQL4.
Not sure what the difference is, but I figure C will offer alot more options, whereas MQL4 is a scaled down version of C, so I should be ready to program in MQL4 with little learning curve after I'm done with C.
Is this a correct assessment? Any input for those of you who have crossed over I would sincerely appreciate it. Thanks again.
