[Kde-women] KDE Women - Introduction

[webdiva at skynet.be]

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...
Any idea on how to learn programming when you're working all day and don't have much money??? ;-)

Same for me. I did some basic and pascal in school, but today I wouldn't 
regard that as real programming. I started learning C/C++ when I was 25, but 
my main learning period was when I did a real large-scale project with 27+. I 
learned all the things that can go wrong ;-) Today I'd say that 
object-oriented programming like in C++ helps more against these faults than 
structured programming in C. 
I don't think age matters and my experience is, that 14 year old boys often 
want to show off themselves and that they can talk a lot of rubbish ;-) What 
really matters is, that you don't only study books but do real projects.

Welcome to the project :-)
