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.<div><div class="h5"><br>

I am tackling a hard task. I was talking with someone on IRC and this<br>
is part of the exchange we had:<br>
<br>
<bmike1> I've decided I need to learn scripting before I do the other<br>
wargames<br>
<bmike1> what do you think? BASH or Python?<br>
<doskop> both have their applications<br>
<doskop> although I hardly use advanced bash scripts to solve<br>
challenges<br>
<doskop> so I'd go for python<br>
<doskop> if you're interested in the other overthewire wargames...<br>
understanding php is pretty much a requirements for natas<br>
<br>
<doskop> for the other OTW wargames, some understanding of C, C++<br>
and/or assembly is very useful<br>
<br>
So I need to learn a few things.<br>
Does anyone have any personal experience with learning any of these on<br>
your own or have you gone through a book and thought, 'Gosh, I wish<br>
they would have taught me that way.' If so please, share with the<br>
class.<br>
