reading is not enough. learn a) more programming languages 2) programming

ok, thank you for the reply, any suggestions or must-do's ?

If you like graphics programming and want to learn C/C++ i would suggest (gradually) writing a (simple) raytracer (learning how it works and the theory behind it should be part of the fun (google helps as always)... i mean don't ask "how do i do that ?" help yourself i assure you the results are really worth of the effort )

hoping i'm not starting a flame... if you still don't know any programming language i would suggest ruby in place of python (this is MY opinion)

If you want a serious programming language, use C#. Python is just a toy for linux people (didnt mean to upset anyone, meant it in a half joking way)

Completely agree

... and i have to admit that the new "FP like" features of C# 3.0 are really interesting

Wow thanks for all your help, in like 5 posts ive learnd so much , so python is a waste of time? i have ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 running around, which would you suggest (or) should i get something else/another program?

When it comes to linux I use backtrack
But I don't use it to program lol

Allosentient: I feel the same way about C#, only s/linux/Windows/

ok well :S i seem to have alot of options, im very gratefull - so thanks everyone :p
