    Hello everyone, I would like to start learning some language from ground up and have a pretty good knowledge about it and do freelance work and maybe in the future build a start-up company. Keeping in mind the technology trends, what do you think would be the best investment for such an adventure. Some options i have in mind are: iPhone programming, Silverlight, .Net etc. Can you give me some insight on this. Thank you all

      Not when I play it. I like it distorted.

      I'm not a stalker, I just know things. Oh by the way, you're out of milk.

            He said he wanted to learn something from the ground up. Can't get anymore low-level than assembler.

              Ideally you would *want* to make *something*, that would be your passion and the language and tools to do it would all be incidental and learned along the way to making something you really like and believe in. Personally I find it really easy to learn stuff when it is in aid of whatever I'm actually interested in accomplishing.

                    Not good enough. You have manipulate the CPU with a AA battery and some wires on the leads of the CPU. Use a volt meter to check the results.

                                  I'm afraid I missed that before. Would I still be on time when I study it now, or has its future already passed? :)

                                      We're working on version 2^n (codenamed two'to'n), so there's still time. :) Marc

                                        Please use <PRE> tags for code snippets, they preserve indentation, improve readability, and make me actually look at the code.

                                          Ideally you would *want* to make *something*, that would be your passion and the language and tools to do it would all be incidental and learned along the way to making something you really like and believe in. Personally I find it really easy to learn stuff when it is in aid of whatever I'm actually interested in accomplishing.
