OK, Thanks. Good luck with it.
As far as learning a language a year, I think a key question is why do we need so many languages to begin with? Many of them can do almost exactly what the others can do with minor variations.
Today when I look at computer job ads, I see so many things I have never heard of. It never used to be this way.
Can the new HTML 5 be used instead of some of these specialized web development tools?
Could you please give a rundown on what’s out there, beginning from Basic and Fortran until today, and state the advantages of each? I hear things like Cold Fusion, and have no idea what it is, and I haven’t gotten around to looking it up on Wikipedia. Last night I looked up R on Wikipedia, and then saw a bunch of sites comparing it against Matlab (which I know well) and some other Stats packages like SAS and SPSS.
