Up till now I know some progamming languages such as Pascal, C, C++, and some other stuff. What kind of things can I do (online or not courses to take, type of books to buy) if I want to stick with computer programming?
What kind of topics should I learn if I'm looking into a career in computer programming?
Well you know those languages but how much do you know them. Besides learning other thigns you can develop your knowledge of those languages you are already familar with. You can easily make a career out of C or C++. One thing I'd recommend is furthering your knowledge in those. Learn a dbms to go with those like Oracle or MySQL (database management systems). Now if you do want to learn other things I'd suggest going with something in webdevelopement. Since you already have an OOP language, C++, you might want to go to C# and do some asp.net. Or just go with PHP, which you can do OOP as well and its an easier language to master since there are alot of good tutorials online and you can download all you need to run it for free right now(apache, php5, - add mysql too, you don't "need" it but its free and extremely useful). If you learn php it would make transition to asp.net with C# even easier since you have alot of the structure of the language down plus and understanding of web interaction with php
For PHP, a couple good books to get, are larry ullman's php for the worldwide web, php %26amp; mysql for the worldwide web and PHP advanced for the world wide web. These are very easy to follow texts and you can get them cheap off of Amazon used.
Reply:I think one of the best directions for you to go is to learn java. To get a leg up, download and start learning the Eclipse platform
