I have hints but most of mine are specific, i would suggets however Python as a good beginning language to start with and get used to program.

http://www.python.org is a good start. If you don't want to start with Python as it really is extremely basic just ask in Beginners Section and i'd be happy to help.
By the way...
You have to close your tags, for it to become in effect.

I really want to go back to school so I can get a degree. Computers have always been mostly a hobby with my main interest in security. I am trying to learn C currently.I also want to pick up some certifications along the way. I was a sales manager for a computer company recently. I doubled basically as a tech/sales manager. Repairs and builds that kind of stuff nothin really all that special. Some networking..setting up serveres, firewalls, that kind of stuff

Thats about it

Hi comamc,

Welcome to the forum :)

Have you ever heard of the book "Learn C in 24 Hours" ? I read that one and it was a brilliant book in which I learned loads of information. :)

Learn C in 24 Hours


You like the 24hr books dissolutions? I've never been a big fan.. Personally I have always like the bible books but I think that's because it fits my style a bit more.

I'm not much of a Lesson 1, Lesson 2, type of guy. I prefer the, here is a problem and this is a solution. So I guess it's all in a persons tastes. ;)

Before the job that I have now I was able to study Security and Learn all day. But the bills were not getting paid to my satisfaction where now all I can do is in my spare time. Which sometimes is semi existent

Have you found that you work better under pressure (such as management or an Employer) than without, like on your own or vice versa?
