The way I learned how to program in all of the languages I know was to start with a large project and learn the language from there. I wrote a 3D wireframe graphics program in Turbo C twelve years ago and that's how I learned C. I wrote a point-of-sale checkin/checkout program for video rentals in Perl a couple of years ago, and that's how I learned Perl. I wrote a simple pusoy-dos playing program in Scheme, and that's how I learned Scheme. Now, I'm writing a byte compiler for a simple language in Objective Caml... It's sorta like learning to play a musical instrument by ear. -- Rafael R.
