    Benchtime Reading

    About to start working my way through this

    Seven Languages in Seven Weeks: A Pragmatic Guide to Learning Programming Languages Pragmatic Programmers: Amazon.co.uk: Bruce A. Tate: Books

    I'm not expecting to get to the end of it so I'm going to start with prolog.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            Ahhhh fair enough, i thought you wanted to start learning how to program which nowadays unless you start off young, there will be too many people far better.
