But, they won't tell why you should learn it? :) Use programming languages as tools. Not all tools are suitable for all problems. Since, you are into networking, you might want to look at the industry to see what you wanna be or what your interests are. If you want to do network programming, I'd recommend Richard Steven's UNIX Network Programming book: W. Richard Stevens. (1990). UNIX Network Programming. Prentice Hall . The GNU/Linux code examples for the above from Dan Kegel are at: http://www.kegel.com/unpv1/ > I personally do not feel that 2-months time is > sufficient for those two > languages. Right. It is not learning the language. It is how you apply it, and this will take time, even years. > Also, i keep reading about 'RUBY' & > 'Python' and i gather that > RUBY is much easy to learn for beginner like me. If you want to do some network application or web development, then you can learn scripting languages like Ruby, Python, PHP et. al. > So, any experts out there can please point me to any > institute which offers > courses in RUBY / Python ? Self-study is the best way to study. As on date, I have not seen *good* institutes in India, so, I recommend that you learn on your own. If you get stuck with anything (free/open source related), please post your queries to the mailing list, and we can help you out. IMO, I would also recommend that you learn Perl for networking. But, that's just my opinion. Have fun, SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
