anyone have anybooks where i should start..
something light where i could catch on very quickly then move my wat up to the more difficult stuff i know it takes time and passion. please your advice would mean lots to me
I want learn video game programming where should i start.?
I've always found that the best way to learn anything is to create a project for yourself. I work as a game programmer now, and I got my start by creating simple little games and game modifications.
If you're absolutely new to computer programming, don't be afraid to do something basic at first. The first thing I ever made was a game in Flash, which is really not very programming-intensive whatsoever, but will expose you to basic programming concepts in a "fun" way, rather than the boring "Computer Science way." Try out http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Games/ for tutorials on making games using Flash.
For more hard-core stuff, you're going to want to learn C/C++/C#. This is difficult, so be prepared.
Any book rated highly on Amazon.com will help you out here, but still, just following a book can be quite boring. Again, its best to do a project with a definite goal in mind. A simple 2D tile-based game is a good goal for a newbie C# programmer - pick up a book which combines C# and DirectX, for example.
If you're feeling particularity motivated, you might try working with Ogre3D, a great free 3D engine which will let you make 3D games (ogre3d.com). Ogre is well documented and their examples are good, and if you are patient and work through them slowly they should make sense eventually.
Cheers and good luck!
Reply:U could go 2 a career center near u and they will tell u about a job u could get working with computer simulators. That helps with video game designs.

What is the best program to learn the Japanese language?
I have been very interested in the japanese language and culture within the past year. I want to be able to speak Japanese well, but I find it very hard to do so without anyone to actually speak with on a daily basis. Is there a program out there that is easy to understand, and help me learn on my own? I have bought a few in the past, but they are not helpful at all! They teach you how to say words and phrases, but I have no clue what the words or phrases are! Help!
What is the best program to learn the Japanese language?
there is http://japanesepod101.com which has free podcasts.
Reply:Its called Rosetta Stone. If you cant learn it from them - you cant learn!

Reply:Just go to Hawaii. You can hang out on Waikiki and learn Japanese just by listening to everybody on the beach (and on the street, in your hotel, in the restaurants, etc., etc.)
Reply:There is none. You cannot expect to learn a language from a computer program. Languages require a lot more effort than that.

Reply:I don't know if you have a college degree or not, but you can teach english in japan if you do. the best and only way to truly learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. teaching english is a good way to be able to live abroad.
Reply:Try TeLL me More by Auralog, it is much better than any other software. You can contact them and ask for a free demo CD at http://www.auralog.com/
Reply:This is what I did with satisfactory results. I bought cassette teaching tapes and put the player under my pillow at night, and played the tapes while I slept. This takes time. The only downside is that I can only speak Japanese while I sleep. I hope that you have better results.

Which is a better programming language to learn, C++ or Java, to find work in the financial industry?
Both... (you'll need them) and you'll gotta learn a lot of new languages that'll appear, the best thing is to learn the basics of programming, so you'll can learn any language in just a few days...
Which is a better programming language to learn, C++ or Java, to find work in the financial industry?
I guess you are tryint to enter the field through trading areas. Those need both quick and dirty programming for solving new problems, AND user friendlly interfaces.
You will find that its usefl to know Matlab and/or Mathematica.
Visual Basic IS needed (on spite of the previous poster laugh) in order to expand excel capabilities. I do that all the time and, although I ultimately reprogram what I did in VB, it provides a fast solution.
Reply:Both can REALLY come in handy. They're both a lot alike. And they're both cross-platform. I am not exactly sure what you mean by "financial industry," but it may depend on the company.
They may want to use VB or something. LoL! =). That makes me laugh, but some do.
Reply:i would tend to lean towards java, but as eveyone has said, once you have learnt the basics in one langauage, you can generally pick up things in other languages quickly. if you learn both well, then you are definiatly be at an advantage
Reply:I'd say Java, but that's more from a general sense than from a finance-specific sense - like the above poster said, it's best to just learn the basics since a lotta things carry over between languages - but you can learn the basics in any language. Java, being the more advanced of the two, probably has more forward-thinking features that newer languages will implement than the older C++. I know both and find Java a whole lot more useful, but the same basic principles apply to both.

What is a good website to learn about computer programing?
I'm trying to teach myself some programming skills for computers i have no certain language i want to learn i would perfer the easiest one to start with also i would like a website that has tutorials and so forth
thanks in advance
What is a good website to learn about computer programing?
For web programming, you need to learn HTML first, then likely CSS. A great site for tutorials on this is: http://www.w3schools.com
As for object oriented programming, there are a few to choose from when starting. The most common choices seem to be C++, Java and VB. All have thier merits and downfalls, but all are good learning tools (I would say Java personally). Once you learn one of these, the others are extremely simple to picj up as they have the same underlying comcepts.
Turorials:
Java: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/
C++: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
VB: http://www.vbtutor.net/vbtutor.html
Once these are learned, stepping up to other languages such as C, C#, python, php, etc. should be no problem. Good luck!
Reply:For web programming languages - HTML, JavaScript, SQL tutorial http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/. Site has hundreds of articles on web design and development.
Reply:Visual basic 2005 is a really easy language if you have windows. http://msdn.microsoft.com/express/ will help you get started with an express edition and tutorials. Go to Visual C++ if you want to get more complex

HTML and CSS if you want web development then eventually ASP

Reply:There is not one programming language out there. There are lots. Your could make an effort to understand how a language works, like Visual Basic, and the logic of it's infrastructure by practicing on MS Access. It was easy and fun for me to build a simple database and learn little by little the program's concepts which helped me a lot in understanding how a computer language works.
But thats just me. Another alternative (seems boring to me) is to buy some begginers books about a specific language and try to follow it's examples.

What programming was used to make MySpace and YouTube?
I'm curious to know what kind of programming was used to build MySpace and YouTube. Was Ajax/php involved?
I'm very interested in learning programming to make my own applications, but I don't have a clue where to begin. Any suggestions?
What programming was used to make MySpace and YouTube?
I have to agree with manuelriliz. For web development php is a very good choice. Of course, if you intend to do any such thing, knowledge of html and SQL syntax for interfacing with MySQL or other database knowledge is practically required.
For general purpose apps that are not web dependent, it would depend somewhat on what type of program you want to make.
I like Perl, but it's well suited to what I use it for.
I've used C++, VB, ObjectPAL, LISP, etc. all for certain purposes that they worked well for. JAVA is basically a replacement for C++ and is good for all-around general programming. Most gaming apps are still written in C++ and more recently in C#.
Reply:If you want to learn how to program, for god's sake don't use myspace as an example. It was designed by monkeys in Cold Fusion and they haven't been able to maintain it because the monkeys went off the deep end after being logged out for the 30th time in a single session.
YouTube is well written but written in Python. I wouldn't really recommend it.
Start with PHP. Pretty much every server supports it, it's easy, it's secure, it's fast. And there's lots of prebuilt packages for it.
Reply:If you are already a programmer, then I'd suggest starting with learning basic HTML / XHTML and PHP, and delay learning about AJAX. The reason is because the concepts of listeners and events in a very amorphous language like javascript are often difficult to grasp, even for experienced programmers.
I'd also suggest picking one browser to work with until you are able to fully understand browser incompatibilities. You can save yourself a lot of frustration by doing that.
If you are not a programmer at all, and are interested in getting to know it better. I'd suggest working with either perl or C. Those languages will acquaint you with basic programming constructs and patterns that will pay big dividends when working with a more modern web scripting language.

What should I learn to know about web designs and programming ?
I am a freelance journalist planning to start a web magazine. For this i need to learn web programming, but i have no idea about how to start ? I mean I dont know anything about basics of programming for the WEB. Even things like web server, FTP or any other terms are not known to me .
I basically want to focus on learning JOOMLA CMS for making my site because we want to use Ijoomla magazine component for it .
Please suggest how should a novice like me start learning the terms and tricks of web design ....
I would also appreciate if someone can tell me where in central india, I can find tutors for this...
Thanks in advance...
What should I learn to know about web designs and programming ?
Start in HTML web programming, then learn something about web design.
Reply:It takes years to master the skill sets needed to learn effective and robust web programming.
This is THE reason for the existence of "CMS" applications like Joomla. Joomla makes it easier for the non-programmer to manage dynamic content of a website.
I suggest get up and going with the CMS then look around for programmers when you want to refine or add features and functionality. You won't have any time to do journalism if you seek to master web programming which takes years
Reply:First of all programming and web design are apples and oranges. If you want to make web pages you need a MARKUP LANGUAGE. Markup languages are instructions that a web brouser uses to display info like text, images, and video. If you want a simple page like a blogg or something you can learn HTML (hypertext markup language) or XHTML. You can also learn JAVA. Another option if you dont want to spend a lot of time learning the language you can buy Frountpage for windows ( i think its under a new name now) or Dreamweaver. Thies applications alow you to make proffesional web pages just by simply pointing and clicking (like using Photoshop). If you want to go the learning rout get the book "the complete reference html %26amp;xhtml " by Thomas A. Powell and "Core Java" by Gary Cornell, Cay s. Horstmann. And as for the second part of your question Im an American I dont know jack about any other country.

You can use MS Word to do your HTML Scripting for you. One of its drawbacks is that the header on it is huge. It drowns the reader in "source" information that they don't need to be seeing, and that you may not want revealed about your computer, so you're going to have to edit it out. Another problem is it doesn't DO bullet lists very well. You may want to ***Download*** or buy a "What You see Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) HTML editor. You don't have to be a code monkey like I am - you can do a web page without even seeing the underlying HTML.

One reason not to specify fonts styles is that the reader's browser may not have it, and the reader can often choose the font style s/he reads it with - it's a waste of time... Don't try to map out exactly to the pixel where things should go, most browsers simply ignore it and display it the way it "wants" to. META tags often help Search Engines Find you, be prepared to relentlessly promote your e-zine - But do it on the cheap until you get a feel for what to buy... In fact, do everything on the cheap side that you can!

Don't use clashing colors that make your website unreadable. Patience is very short on the web, and you don't want your reader's trying hard to read your prose, because they'll quickly move on to the next site...

Reply:Hi there...
Well I have done some of the online Sogang university courses.... but that was a few years ago.
When I started to learn Korean, my friends were opposed to me learning to read (stupid right?), but im so stubborn, I learnt it in one afternoon.
After that I would practice my reading with newspapers (not knowing what it meant of course, but I couldn navigate with a dictionary and a few peices of scrap paper)... would watch Korean drama series/movies without subtitles.
Just force yourself to be as alienated as possible while learning.
I find that if something is too easy, or if there is too much english to fall back on when it gets difficult, you dont actually remember it.

Reply:There are lots of resources on the internet to learn C programming and I have provided some of them below. But if you are keen on mastering C, the best way to do it (IMHO) is to grab a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie, the authors of the language. There is no source which is more authoritative and more complete than this book but its not for the rank newbie.

Where i can learn C programming ( btech cs first year uptu university )on internet?
i would suggest for ebooks rather than online studies because you would get more wide scop for free in the book
but then a lot of sites are available online you can search it on google or yahoo search engines
the one below is shortlisted not the best but one of the online sites

Is there any software that I can use to build a PHP-MYSQL database without knowing programming?
This program should create HTML for a dynamic database-driven website .
Hopefully it will be a free solution. I dont have a big budget to work with, or time to go learn programming now.
Please help!
Is there any software that I can use to build a PHP-MYSQL database without knowing programming?
It's called a "consultant", and it'll cost $$$
Reply:If you want to use mysql and php to full advantage you need to learn the language, if you don't you will never get any real use of the system.

How can I learn more on Programming concepts?
"but the best language to learn is html" - HTML is a markup language, not a programming language.
Can you code in anything yet? If not, pick a language and start. In general VB is the worst to start with if you want to move on to anything else, because it encourages what are seen as bad habits in other languages.
What do you want to write? Apps to be run on a PC or webprogramming?
For PC-run stuff, Java is probably the easiest to port, but it's also pretty high on resources. C/C++ are pretty widely used, but very low level so there's a rather steep learning curve. Python and Perl are good, though i've not come accross much written in either for Windows, mostly *nix. Perl is more server-side scripting than application writing, though.
For web-based programming, PHP is a popular one, and there's hundreds of tutorials out there.

Reply:If you want to learn programming the best bet is to start with Java as it is completely free and fairly easy to learn. You would need to download Java from www.sun.com and then get Eclipse from www.eclipse.org. Alternatively you could look at Python, Ruby etc they are easy(ish) to learn.

I am a beginner to programming, and I would like to learn using Cocoa (Xcode)?
I want to take up programming, but where do I start? i have looked for tutorials, but they all expect that you already know some sort of programming language and think you are trying to convert to the other. I am using a mac and would like to learn cocoa/objective-c inside Xcode. I do have avid computing skills however, and can easily work my odds and ins of a computer, but I really want to know a good place to start programming. Any suggestions? Please?
I am a beginner to programming, and I would like to learn using Cocoa (Xcode)?
What you want is the ebook, "Become an Xcoder, Leopard Edition" (link below). The description says, "A free book for starting with Cocoa using Objective-C... written for non-programmers."

I want to learn a programming language. Where should I start, and can you recommend some books?
I've been interested in computers for a while. Now I'm getting in to them. I'm building my own computer -had to RMA the motherboard but will be replacing it soon- and I'm going to learn a little FORTRAN soon as part of an astrophysics class.
I honestly have no idea what I'd do with said programming language, but I'd like to know how computers tick. I'm 15 so my budget isn't that big. I'd like to have a book, because I'm kind of obsessed with printed matter.
A few years ago I tried to learn Python, but I never got very far.
I'd like to be able to make some money, so what can I do that could become profitable?
My current computer sucks -can't even play Portal with all the specs turned down- but my new computer will have plenty of power, so I can play with whatever shiny stuff said programming language will offer.
What do you guys recommend?

The comment above about learning how to program is spot on. Once you know how to program and understand the concepts, the knowledge is pretty well transferable to all languages.
A great place for you to start might be GameMaker. It allows you to build the logic for computer games visually... then when you get more advanced you can add in code using a built in script language that is very similar to C / C++. A book is available to go with this program. It is only $20 bucks to register it. Check out the first link below.
My son has "thrown" together a handful of freeware games using GameMaker and you can take a look at those at WigPigs (second link).
If you are interested in building interactive websites, look into learning PHP %26amp; MySQL (will require a webhosting service that supports these - most do). Both PHP and MySQL are open source so your only cost would be webhosting.
I have a commercial service (online student newspapers) that is build entirely using PHP %26amp; MySQL plus a little javascript here and there... (third link shows a live site running on the software).
Even though you have tried Python, you might want to give it a second chance. I have a fairly successful commercial (shareware) educational game that is written in Python and uses a number of open source Python libraries (fourth link).
Making money: Well that is going to depend as much or more on the idea and whether it meets any needs that people might have. If you create a decent quality educational game / program, I might be willing to market it for you.

Reply:Well, here's the rub... You don't need to a learn a language, you need to learn how to program. Learning a language is just syntax and semantics. If you know *how* to code well, you simply need to write code in that given language.
Now, that being said, the biggest "trendy" language nowadays is Java. However, if you learn Java first, you are missing out on memory management as the JVM does all of that for you. I would suggest you learn C or C++ (or both) first, paying special attention to pointers and how to use them, and then move on to Java.

Where should i go to learn to program a video game free if you are only 11?
I am only 11 and i want to learn how to program a video game. I can only program web sites in html. I know a little bit about JavaScript.
Where should i go to learn to program a video game free if you are only 11?
Go to a library and check out programming books. Even if they are in basic they will help you.
Reply:Thats a really good start! You can definatly buy books that work together with video gaming programs, programs such as Houdini, and Maya. Houdini uses Python and Maya uses its own programing language called MEL ( Maya Embeded Language)
You can also download an excellent program, built for programing games, its called blender. You download it for free and use it for free, i am not sure what the programing language for that package is, but you can ask. When you find out you can get tutorials on the language, or buy books about it, and incorporate what you learn with the program.
You can download blender from www.blender3d.com
GOOD LUCK!
PS- if you want to download free trial versions of the other two professional programs than here are the websites
Maya- www.alias.com ( i think that leads you to a new site)
Houdini- www.sidefx.com
PS(2)- Dont listen to the guy who gave you the first answer, I guess he is just a dumb *** than couldnt really get any languages, you seem a lot smarter than he is, so go learn and have fun!
Reply:Too YOUNG !!! its true. you have to have the basic. Creating games is a combination of math, science and even art. Stay in school study hard, play hard, when you get older, get yourself a relevant degree. And you can create video games, and get paid.

HTML can be learned by an 8 year old, it's nothing like video game programming languages (C++ is mainly used for video games).

Can i learn PC technician then proceed to programming?
I want to get more skills in both field. Is it better
Can i learn PC technician then proceed to programming?
Both fields are important, with lots of job openings.
In both fields it is important for a practicioner to know a little about the other field.
When something goes wrong, it could be because of hardware, or software. All IT workers need to be able to know how to tell which, and trouble shoot both to some degree.
Better depends on your disposition and interests.
You might get some more insight from sites such as this one
http://www.interviewrx.com/index
Reply:Certainly you can, but you really don't need any background as a PC technician to learn how to program.
As far as career potential, go with software rather than PC technician.

Which is easier to learn, programming in c++ or oracle?
its depends upon your logic strength.
whether u learn C++, java or oracle,
you must have good logic building characteristics. otherwise there isn't any use of wasting time.
my opinion is C++ is easier then oracle
Which is easier to learn, programming in c++ or oracle?
I don't know if c++ is latin exactly.. these days you'd almost be better off learning JAVA. anyway I though c++ was easier but that's just me.
Reply:It's best to learn C++ because if you learn C++ it would be easy to learn almost any programming language. It's like Latin is the root language of many popular languages like Spanish, Italian, etc. It's quite the same idea with C++
Reply:Oracle, like the database? These are two completely different things. Technically C++ is easier to learn because it t's just computer language. Oracle is a whole world: the database, the PL/SQL "language", Oracle Applications, Oracle e-Commerce, Business Intelligence, Peoplesoft, etc.
If you eventually plan to learn Oracle, I would recommend starting with Java. It is very similar to C++. There are free java IDE's, even Oracle has JDeveloper. They use Java a lot, for example, you can write stored procedures in Java. Then download the free Oracle 10g Express and Oracle SQL Developer.

If I learn some we design , some networking , some programming , will I be able to find a job easier?
Instead of specializing if I learn a little bit of everything including some database , networking , light programming %26amp; some web design , will I be able to find a job faster? Or people expect specialists? I was thinking about System Administrator with a lot of different skills for a small company not willing to invest in too much workers. Thx.
If I learn some we design , some networking , some programming , will I be able to find a job easier?
I'd put it simply like this... if you're looking to make the most money in what you do... specialize. Know that it will take you at least 6months to a year of focusing and constantly using your particular skill to become adept enough to be paid for it. Gone are the days of slapping a Hyperlink and some javascript on a website and getting paid for it.
Learn one language in and out. If you're doing desktop programming, check out C# or any of the .Net languages are in hot demand right now... AND those languages will also help you with web programming as Silverlight, assuming it takes off like it should, will be hot. If you are going to uni for programming, this should be on the list, or Java.
Or, if you are more visual... Learn Flash %26amp; ActionScript 3. Flash designers are also in high demand.
And finally, my favorite, PHP/MYSQL. these skil/ls are also in demand right now... Free downloads for both programs... a wealth of free info online... if you dont have money to properly shell out for Visual Studio... go this route. and the sql database is phenomenal and growing fast.
I'd pick a path and dive in, learning as much as you can before you start adding other things. And as with everything you've mentioned, they all inter-relate eventually. PHP/C# will lead you to database design and maintenance, and setting up MYSQL/Access will lead you to skills in networking.
Its a big mess of awesome. Good luck!

Reply:I'd focus.
It never hurts to be good at lots of stuff, but if you're not great at anything they won't offer you the job. At least focus to one area. System Admin would require networking skills mostly. Programming wouldn't be much use and neither would web-design in that particular job.
As I say, they won't hurt, but unless you're also really good at network stuff too they'll give it to someone who is better at networking.
Reply:Database is one thing i'm lacking but I have seen countless jobs that are looking for somebody with database experience...
Get yourself some certifications and you should have no trouble finding a job.
I'm just really getting started with my career and have just one mcp certification and am about 95% w\ my associates in network administration and support and I'm working in an entry-level $30k job, which with another year experience and a couple more solid certs + degree I'm expecting to nearly double.
Reply:well to be a system admin u need to do say MCSA (microsoft system admin), this deals with windows 2003 server, networking, AD and a few other things.
since its best to learn 1 field to the max, and learn the other stuff just to increase knowledge. since it can take years to be a expert of just one of those areas.
Reply:It's always good to know everything, even if it's just the basics. but for the job, you need to show them some kind of proof, either a project, live demo or certificate.
Reply:It's always better to put more things on your resume and plus you will have your hand dipped into different fields so yes.

u make more money when you are specialzed in a domaine for sure

I am not a com sci student but i just want to learn something new. I already know C++, visual basic back in high school.
when i say practical, i mean up to date and most commonly used. tnx
What's the most practical programming language to learn?
Answering to your question would be difficult since it is not clear why you want to learn a programming language, and how seriously? Would it be only for fun and hobby, or you mean to take part in a development activity?
There would be some choices:
1. Standalone applications: programs which run on a single computer.
2. Server-Side Web applications: programs that run at a server to create a dynamic page which is then sent to the browser (a client). Server-side programming also requires you to know a database and its query language.
3. Client-Side Web applications: programs which are sent to browsers along with HTML tags, and then used by the browser to change the look or behavior of the page at client side.
4. Script applications: programs which do not need a compiler but a host application to run on.
These are my view and are rather subjective:
1. For standalone applications go straight to .Net programming; start with VB.Net, and then learn C#.
2. For server-side web applications, either learn PHP and MySQL database, or ASP.Net (requires also VB.Net or C#) with MS SQL database. Make sure that you have understood HTML markup language as well as CSS (Cascaded Style Sheets) which are used to create web pages beforehand.
3. For client-side web applications, go for JavaScript because, despite Java applets, it works well with DHTML features of the HTML. Make sure again that you have understood HTML and CSS beforehand.
Not bad to mention that ASP, PHP and (client-side) JavaScript use script languages (ASP uses server-side JavaScript), but ASP.Net, and standalone .Net uses compilers for a set of .Net languages like VB.Net, C#, J# and Managed (CLR) C++ (it is a .Net C++ language).
Good luck.
Reply:u know c++ so its standards and commands are similar to that of java. Both are different languages but most commands are similar as to keep learner upgrading themselves from procedural oriented model programming(POM) to object oriented programming(OOP). So you can easily go for java. You will learn it quickly as you have learned c++. This will really help you as you learn java, u vl also be able to learn javascript then this makes you feel comfortable creating client side programming. And then further you vl able to go higher learning Struts (Framework in Java). Which helps you in making website and other fun things which involve client and server. And further on higher level u can go for EJB enterprise java beans and then go for corba.
Reply:Well the .NET framework is pretty productive to use and it can be used to develop a wide variety of applications ranging from web applications and services to desktop applications etc...
Taking into consideration that web programming is also much in demand, you can learn ASP.NET. This will require you learning a .NET language such as C# or VB.NET.
Good Luck.
Reply:C++ takes more than just a year or two to understand completely. It takes practice and further learning at the college or professional level. High School just doesn't allot enough time to it.
Once you know C++ pretty well, then you already know 90% of Java, which is the next one I'd recommend you master. Then it would be time to move onto C# and .NET, both of which are becoming high demand today in the workplace.
Reply:c++ is probably the most popular.
Reply:Java is alright but it is dying and has a ton of overhead. It is a pain but since you already have the basic C++, I would say C Sharp.
C sharp is used in the industry more as it is more powerful then C++ but it is more limited.
Reply:Up to date is really subjective and relative. I think what you mean by your question are what languages are currently popular in software development. Java is certainly up there as is C# for .Net. PHP has gained a lot of popularity for small web projects. Ruby and Python have gained a lot of attention but I still feel they are less popular than the ones I mentioned.

Reply:You've got a good start if you have C++. If you want a job a great suggestion is to make sure you have your algorithms down. I find employers are more interested in people who just understand how things are implemented. While people want as short a learning curve as possible, a deep rather than broad understanding is what seems to make a difference. So practice your sorts.
Beyond that there is a question for any question like this. Practical for what? Up to date and commonly used cover a multitude of languages. Java, for example, is a cross-platform language with lots of extensions for graphic displays and web applications. So is Ruby. Dot Net is Microsoft's answer to both and many others, which means it is primarily for the Windows operating system, not cross-platform. If you want to develop primarily for XP and Vista that may be the way to go.
If you can afford it, I do recommend a college course. In Unix. Apple's been using BSD as a back-end for their OSes since OS X, and of course Linux is a Unix Derivative. The biggest advantage, though, is that even Windows builds on many of the ideas and concepts which were developed using it. Learning about its file structure, which is similar but different, and about scripting languages like sed and gawk, will give you a good perspective on what computers actually do.
If you can't afford a college course, I don't recommend running out and installing Ubuntu. Ubuntu is geared towards the user and while it does have good development tools available if you know where to look the best argument for using it is wanting to use Ubuntu. If you just want to learn about Unixes, type a search request for "Free Unix Account", get a book or search for tutorials, and make sure you have some form of telnet or ssh installed in your computer (you can get free ones).
Meanwhile, C++ is good.

Should an Electronics engineer learn Unix programming?
What does Unix do? Is it another language like C and C++? what are the differences?
And will it be of any use to a, say, to a telecommunications engineer?
Should an Electronics engineer learn Unix programming?
unix is a familiy of operating systems with a similiar set of design/behaviors. Other examples of operating systems are OS X, Windows, DOS.
Specific operating systems that are considered "a unix" or "unix-like" are AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD.
Telecoms are big on unix. You may find the tools you need, or the software/hardware you work with is running in a unix environment more often then not. It would be valuable to know how to work on a unix-system (editors, navigate the filesystem, create simple pipelines for data manipulation) and maybe write/compile/debug simple C programs.
Reply:Unix is an operating system like Windows, but this operating system is normally suitable for commercial holdings rather than home purpose.
So, you write programs in C and C++ languages. And for you to run these programs, you have to use an operating system, either Windows or UNIX.
It is definitely good to learn UNIX. It is a strong platform and it would be interesting to learn the commands.
Reply:Unix is more like windows, and c++, it's both an operating system, and a language.
It may not be important, to a telecom engineer, specifically. Really it depends on what a particular company uses to run their system.
That said, Unix is also the basis for Linux, so if you understand one, you have a good idea about what to do with the other. It will pop up in places you might not even expect. A large portion of HD television sets run on linux based code.
It's not used as heavily as it was, years ago, but many corporations still rely heavily on Unix.
Reply:To be honest mate, It cant hurt to learn it.
If you know your way round a unix system, its something to put on your CV.
Those above have explained what it is.
for an easy way in, try Ubuntu (some like it some dont, but you can get a "Live CD" which lets you run a linux operating system without installing it)
And will it be of any use to a, say, to a telecommunications engineer?
