wargames

[Keith Smith]

I learned how to program at the junior college and the university.  I 
started in academia in 1983 with punch cards. From my experience I would 
recommend learning how to program by learning straight old C. If your 
really apply yourself and really learn C you will have a better go of 
things when working with other languages. Assembler is a good idea as 
well.  You may never use it however it will give you some interesting 
insight. Stay away from Object Oriented Programming until you master C. 
Then learn OOP.
