Some good answers so far...
First, regarding books. While the suggestion of avoiding dumbed
downed books has some merit it is worth noting the distinction between
books that are primarily used for reference and books that are more
about theory. I haven't fund much use for reference books so

Hi Wayne:
My advice would be to find a real, do-able, and hopefully exciting
problem where you work (or elsewhere) that can be solved with a bit of
automation. Once you've found something to work on, fish around for
the right tools(s) to solve the problem. You can use your peers in

Here's another reference to add to some of the great ones so far
(hadn't seen that Norvig one before Chris!). Whatever you think about
Perl, it's hard to argue with Larry Wall's 3 great virtues of a

I do think that what language you choose to learn in will effect what
you learn though. As someone else mentioned, which was a good point,
being exposed to good code is the best thing to help you learn to write
it. And on that basis, PHP is maybe not a good choice, and Perl can
be...

Good point. One of my main thoughts was that ruby and python are both
hot languages right now and there might be a lot of tutorials and
tolerance out there now for the hello world type of approaches. I
also considered for suggesting perl, but

Most of the responses I've seen have focused on the raw technology. For
a different perspective, I'm going to assume that you know how to
program, and do it well, and that you are looking for advise with
regards to working in a library. Here's my take:
1. Learn about your organization. Figure out
Thank you so much for all the reply.
Maybe i should say something about my background first.
