Later today I’m going to update my piece How I Got A Career. There is a section on how you can get started with programming that is real, real, old. These days, with free IDE’s and compilers available all over the place, it’s even easier to get started.

Thanks to Dave Bauer for the useful critique. I wrote that piece ages, and ages ago. Man it’s a different world 🙂 Python, Perl, and Java seem the most appropriate starting points now. Not VB or Delphi.

I let ya know when it’s finished.
