<warning: jovial comment ahead> I think I disagree in the order that one should learn programming languages. You should do it like my parents did. Start with machine code and punch cards. Move up to assembler (although there is little difference). Then "discover" fortran and "invent" pascal. When you realize that things can be so much easier design c, remake it as objective c since you still have to design c++. When you've finished all that, you've finally got a language you can use to reliably design perl or php (since you've designed them, you now know what you should use.... but I'm sure you'll go back to assembler anyway) </jovial comment> -- Christopher In 1968 it took the computing power of 2 C-64's to fly a rocket to the moon. Now, in 1998 it takes the Power of a Pentium 200 to run Microsoft Windows 95. Something must have gone wrong.
