What would be good languages to learn.
I already know that PERL, and C, and Sed.
It's hard to pick the typo out of that sentence and decide what you actually meant. Are you saying you already know Perl, C and Sed, or did you mean to say that you something about them and forgot to say what? :o)
Is there anything else? And does SuSE use mostly C, or Mostly Perl, or what?
If you don't know Perl, you could do worse than start there. It's structure is similar to languages like C, plus it doesn't require compliers, linkers and other tricky technologies. It's got a lot of real world kudos too. If you already know Perl, C++ or Java would be your best bets if you want to move to a lower level. Lots of Linux stuff is written in C++ (the entire KDE desktop being the most obvious example), so there's a lot of support. Java, not quite so, and it's a pretty crappy desktop application language, but for server stuff and networks it's quite good. If you fancy another scripting language, I'd recommend Tcl to anyone. I know a dozen or so languages, and Tcl is by far the simplest, and one of the most powerful. As a rapid way to develop GUI based applications it has no equal. It's power to beat of sweat ratio is huge - absolutely unique. Unfortunately, Perl, Python and the others take all the mainstream applause. Us Tcl programmers just quietly get the job done in a third of the time, then take the rest of the week off... ;o) -- 2:39pm up 4 days, 6:19, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
