Communication was poor and they (two grad students) could only commit a few hours per week...more than anything it ignited an interest to learn that of which I knew nothing about.

Is there a benefit to learning multiple languages? Or would you recommend trying to truly "master" one of the starting (Java or Python) and then branching out after completely comfortable in one? Should I learn them in a specific order?

I just picked up Code Complete at the lib today but will start with "Write Great Code" as you suggested. Thanks!

Well aren't you lovely. A starved for attention (supposedly) smart (MIT) girl? Overweight pathetic "Cosmo" reading male? Please make up your mind.

Or..I'm an Econ major taking my FIRST course in computer science with ZERO background experience in this space at all. I'm looking for advice and guidance as a humble beginner.

If you were looking for literature and daily publications on Austrian Economics or other heterodox schools of economic thought, I would have a list to give you.. I'm just looking for the equivalent in programming.

Amazing. No Google search led me to an answer this helpful. Thank you for your input on languages also...it seems there is quite a debate between Java and Python.

Thank you for your response. I'll check it out.
