Btw...who told slick that most of the knowledgable members here were self taught. Assumption is dangerous my friend . Ok...ejd, here's a good place to start: www.happyhacker.org. Although its not as up-to-date...it will give you some grounds to start on. If mittens has the time, she would be your best bet to ask questions to. She's a college proffessor who knows a lot in her field. Also, check her new Tutorials that she has written here in AO. They talk about Wargaming (Legaly )
