Hi,

This is a completly out-of-topic and selfish thread :-)

I finish school tomorrow, hopefully :-), and I have three or four months
before University and I want very very much to start programming......now,
I have a huge wish list in amazon and as well there are many great
resources in the web but I am kind of lost.........

If I start in C (and do a little Perl, just for fun, in my spare time that
wont be very much) will I get to understand at least *a little* of the
kernel and be able to program something and take a jump to C++ in another
one or two months so I can start making usefull things?? In june (2002) I
could start thinking of Java.......

Would anybody suggest any other way, any advices??

Oh, I forgot, I would be doing some shell scripting also (but remember, C
is where the great secrets lie, right?)

Thankyou very much, and forgive me if I am abusing of your knowledge, I
will try to give back someday all what I learned in this list :-)

Raul
