Hmmm... think of it as parang OJT -- wala lang
ngang baon B).
i hear RH is offering online and classroom courses
on linux development..not saying that you actually
*need* to attend these....fyi lang.
There are also a few good books running
around(taunting me with their price tags) Linux
Programming, Advanced Linux Programming, etc.
AFAIK all you need is persistence -- and a
subscription to PLUG (bola?).
