Hey gang,

Firstly, im glad to see a number of familiar faces still active around here

Im an IT Consultant that administers server/networks, configs routers/firewalls, deals with EVERything a client throws at me, server migrations, new tech implimentations, everything - And its fine, i enjoy my work but throughout the years i wanted to aspire to software programming.

Problem being that with my work as it is, i never have the time to sit down and learn. In the wayback of highschool i self taught HTML which i still enjoy every now and then but scripting and the tiniest bit of VB which i dont remember any of and that is my exposure to software development.

I now have the time to learn to program and the dedication to want to pursue it seriously. So this is something im taking seriously and want to get into .... its not a newb question saying how do i write perl >?

So what would you all recommend on where to start and how hard to tackle the situation.

cheers all


CTO
