It seems to be very good. How did you find it? I hope you it wasn't as easy as gogling 'Learn C'. If so I could have done that.

any recommendations as to what to learn from? anyone know of a good
online resource for learning C? Look at what overthewire.org [2] is

making me do! (at my choice of course)

Object Oriented Programming - from the Internet : Object-oriented
programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around
objects rather than "actions" and data rather than logic.
Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that
takes input data, processes it, and produces output data.

Most modern languages are capable of Object Oriented Programming.
OOP will make your life simpler if you plan to build any complex
applications.

C is procedural, which is easier to learn.  C++ is object
oriented.  Java is object oriented.  I have not looked at Python
so I cannot comment. PHP is object oriented, however most use it for
scripting (old school PHP).

Bash looks to be procedural.

Start with C then C++ then Bash.  If you need Python learn it.  I
think assembler is always a good idea for someone wanting to learn
programming.  You will be exposed to registers, interrupts, and
math at the CPU level, which is a real learning experience.

After all that I would learn database normalization. Database
normalization may not be all that important if you are going to use
programming to automate and to get info for gaming. If you plan any
serious projects that require a DB, then database normalization is
very important.

OOP would be python? Okay. this is what I'm thinking; learn BASH
and
then C and then Python. Is C and C++ that different?

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.

I am tackling a hard task. I was talking with someone on IRC and
this
is part of the exchange we had:

<bmike1> I've decided I need to learn scripting before I do the
other
wargames
<bmike1> what do you think? BASH or Python?
<doskop> both have their applications
<doskop> although I hardly use advanced bash scripts to solve
challenges
<doskop> so I'd go for python
<doskop> if you're interested in the other overthewire
wargames...
understanding php is pretty much a requirements for natas

<doskop> for the other OTW wargames, some understanding of C, C++
and/or assembly is very useful

So I need to learn a few things.
Does anyone have any personal experience with learning any of
these on
your own or have you gone through a book and thought, 'Gosh, I
wish
they would have taught me that way.' If so please, share with the
class.
