How about shell scripting, AWK and C++. C is the basic underlying language that all Unix systems were written in. Perl is certainly an excellent scripting language. While Perl may be more useful, a knowledge of POSIX shell scripting (and possibly C Shell scripting) is a must because virtually all system scripts are written in Bourne Shell or POSIX Shell. AWK can be very useful, but has been somewhat subsumed by Perl. C++ is very useful for OO type programming. I'm sure that you might find a course of two at UNC (although being a Tulane and Emory graduate living in Boston, I don't hold much stock in UNC :-) On 26 Apr 2002 at 9:22, Michael Garabedian wrote:
A general question from a realtive newbie.
I have gotten used to the way that Linux works, and want to get into real coding of applications for my boxen.
What would be good languages to learn.
I already know that PERL, and C, and Sed.
Is there anything else? And does SuSE use mostly C, or Mostly Perl, or what?
Thanks in Advance.
