I am in the process of relearning computer programming, my last language being Pascal. I researched carefully on what to learn first. I chose Perl because it is versitile as well as being the first on the lips of real people, not some pumped up advertising website. I do not regret this choice, having found that Perl has lived up to and surpassed my expectations. I love the fact that "TIMTOWTDI" and that the community is willing to help a novice like me expand and learn without being harsh.

However I am resigned to the fact that I must learn more (ie Java and JavaScript) to become more marketable.
