[Nottingham] Which programming language (RE: O'Reilly Books)

[Rennacker Ed]

Thanks, people, those answers were great. I am a closet programmer and I 
love learning new things. I can read several languages better than I can 
write mainly because I have never had a job where I could do programming 
on a regular basis and because I am not much of an original thinker. So 
I work by the borrow and modify rule. I like Java the best and recently 
took a quick look at Ruby. I currently have been working on PHP and now 
I am playing with Perl because I have a new job in a Windows shop and 
I've heard Perl can search/modify Active Directory. Of course scripts 
are fun and when I take the LPI test later this year I understand there 
is a scripting requirement.
Cheers,
edward
