Musing.... I learned C++ first and then Java. I don't miss C++ that much. I had to do a project a couple of years ago that had some C++. It was fun accessing that area of my brain again. C++ was not as bad as I remembered it. It is strange now that I have been programming Java longer than C++. I still view Java as the new language.... Weird.

I would add: Newham & Rosenblatt "Learning the bash Shell" While bash is not Linux. But much of what you do in Linux is often at the command line or a shell script. So a good grasp of bash can be useful. > > apparently these gaps in my knowledge really can't remain unfilled for > me much longer :) > > Nick > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Terence Rudkin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
