- I am 25 and working in a job that doesn't offer much of a future. I
- haven't had the money to finish college. I would like to learn a
- marketable skill in computers to help me get my foot in the door with
- a company that will help me pay for school. I would like some
- opinions on a path to take. Someone suggested I learn HTML, which I
- now have a pretty good grasp of. But with the new "almost WYSIWIG"
- editors and converters anyone will be able to design their own web
- pages.
-
- I see many job opportunities for C\C++ programming of which I
- understand I should learn C first. Please offer advice and
- suggestions on materials that would explain this arcane language to a
- beginner.
