Mixxx uses C++, not C. And it's not just plain C++, it's C++ using Qt. There are a few ways to contribute without knowing C++. You can contribute mappings for controllers, which only requires knowing XML and JavaScript. You can work on the skins, which are written in XML.
I've started to dig into the C++ code and fixing small issues without knowing much about C++, which has been a good way to start learning C++. I encourage you to try reading some basic introductory material on C++ and dig right into changing something small in Mixxx, learning as you go by referring to Qt and C++ documentation (the Qt documentation is quite good). There are also ways to contribute without writing code. You can contribute to documentation. The manual is on GitHub (https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual ). There are a couple of open pull requests that need review. Editing the manual is one of the last blockers for releasing 1.12, so contributing that way would be especially welcome right now. You can also contribute to the wiki. You can help support users on the forum and IRC. You can verify bugs on the bug tracker, report new bugs you encounter, and file feature requests on the bug tracker.
