Then the sequence is python, C, assembly. Python will let you actually write code. It has a clean syntax that encourages code legibility. C is much closer to the metal. The primary python virtual machine is written C. Operating systems are mostly written in C and assembly. Assembly is writing for the metal. Other posters have mentioned perl and system administration. Python has made inroads, but perl has a major head start. That head start includes additives suited to system administration. System maintenance probably means learning perl to deal with existing code. I've not learned perl. -- Michael hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Pessimist: The glass is half empty.
