<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been a long time in your case... Wanting
even to change job and working in computing... So I did it with books I
baught... But at the end I got internet and learned everything with tutorials...
At the age of 50y after waiting 25y I endly got the chance in France to get a
training as Analyst ! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But great deception : No much programming and old
methods... i found a job six years ago as analyst but I had a lot of work
to train myself to a better level !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I soon in "retirement"... And just learned it
won't be well paid ! As it should have been... Well doesn't matter : I just
started to learn "POV-RAY" to be able to write a theory in maths and physics I
am seeking for years !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So if you have internet and know english they are
so many good tutorials than can make you a real good one, with patience and work
:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kde-women is a good start : kdevelop will help
you... I think what you have to do is in which "domain" you want to programm,
and which language... c /c++, basic etc...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a good BASIC like visual basic on linux :
<A href="http://gambas.sourceforge.net">http://gambas.sourceforge.net</A>.. And
start ! Examples are many and working !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>kdevelop too and kde apps... with gnome : glade (<A
href="http://www.gtk.org">http://www.gtk.org</A>) and follow glade links... <A
href="http://anjuta.sourceforge.net">http://anjuta.sourceforge.net</A> an IDE
..</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And if you speak french : Go to <A
href="http://www.developpez.com">http://www.developpez.com</A>...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You have all things from beginners to advanced
programming : You can even be in a list or go in forum ... For linux you can get
fedora or mandrake which are quite easy to install... And if you want more
precise details, send me an email and I will see how i can help you...
Communauty is a great family and when one is newbie.. (i am always newbie...
lol.. Because there is so much to learn !! ) just ask for help... And be patient
! Some people are very nice other less.. But don't worry : Just tell them nicely
they aren't very nice and usually they apologize !!! If there are gentleman or
lady !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>wish you good luck :)</FONT></DIV>

Introduction</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Talking about learning... I've been looking for evening courses
like crazy and found nothing. No programming courses (unless you want to go
back to uni and become engineer), no unix or linux courses. I even posted
messages on the Brussels Linux message list and no one could tell where I
could follow a unix or linux course??? The only thing I can find is expensive
courses like red hat certification which must be 400 € for a 3 day course and
you have to know the basics already...<BR>Any idea on how to learn programming
when you're working all day and don't have much money???
