<g>......I've done alot of research before coming to the conclusion ( although
not necessarily same one you'll come to for your needs ) that for me I'm
starting out with the ease/simplicity/quick production of Python and graduate up
from there ( if you don't want to sink in money grab the online tutorial for now
to see if its your pleasure )...with the low level languages I understand it
takes longer to do what you want .....You use what you need based on the
requirements of your application etc...for alot of uses Python/Perl whatever is
VERY adequate from what I"ve read and anything else that requires better
execution time you start screaming and run for the hills with your trusty ( in
order of preference ) C/c++ manuals/tutorials......and of course your unix
api/libc/gnome basics along with ..if you feel REALLY adventurous your assembly
language reference might be on your list of needed things.....
You should do yourself a flavor and checkout:
http://www.python.org and READ the comparisons to other languages its very
educational that is where I began my quest but of course there are many other
references one can gather by doing internet searches....
I "started out" with simple Basic via the VIC20/C-64 :) from typing those basic
programs in back of book.....of course this was a mere few years ago you
understand.....
