learning graphics code

I don't know C, or programming.

I went to a fucking design school and they showed me Processing. I got a job doing JS and sometimes AS3 crap. Sometimes I need to use Python.

Is C & OpenGL still relevant with all the really cool frameworks around?

Go for WebGL. Microsoft just announced the other day they won't support it in Internet Explorer, so it has to be cool and edgy. Moreover, all those dumbfucks using IE won't be able to run your application, so there is no way you will get swamped with complains and idiocy from IE retards. Everyone wins!
