Learn on your own man. That's how the best do it. Also learn to fix your line length :)
i dont agree. i have learnt everything on my own due to the fact that i am the only opensource programmer within a radius of 200 kilometers from here. And, believe you me, it is a pita. No doubt god helps those who help themselves, but a considerable amount of interraction with ppl in the know certainly helps to speed up the learning track. Yes, mailing lists and forums do help to a certain extent, but when learning on ones own, a lot of 'newbie' stuff is a dark mystery, and it is often in fear and trembling that i post queries on lists hoping to get answers without being flamed. (i have been flamed innumerable times for asking newbie questions, including a coupla times by philji himself). Most of the guys who propagate this 'learn on your own' crap are guys who have 3-5 years of formal education in computers, on which basis they are now capable, to a certain extent, of learning on their own. incidently, on a personal note heard tell you were going for german classes - how come you didnt learn german on your own (I did). I would suggest that unhelpful replies like this be avoided. If a guy asks for info about courses available, either give the info or refrain from adding to the noise on the list.
