Future Learnings

I am a big advocate of self continuous improvement, and I am constantly looking for new resources for learning my trade.

This morning in my daily web trawl I came across this link talking about how to become a hacker.

And it inspired me to use some of my spare time to learn a few more programming languages.

In the article Eric gives his recommendations on what languages to learn:

• Python
• C/C++
• Java
• Pearl
• LISP

So far the programming languages under my belt are (I have left out scripting languages such as HTML):

• C# .NET (this is my current language of choice)
• Java (My University had a bend towards teaching Java as a first language then really didn't touch on other languages too much).
• BASIC
• Javascript
  

I started programming at the command prompt of an old Apple IIe then progressed to QBASIC then Visual Basic before going to uni and learning Java and seeing the light ahem... discovering new more powerful languages.

I'm also wanting to delve deeper into multi threaded and parallel programming as I can see that the future is in spanning across multiple CPU cores.

Well that's about all for today.
