Programming

I am trying to shift my style of writing a bit so that if I havent got something important to say, i just keep my mouth or is it the keyboard silent.

I am trying to learn how to program. This is something I want to do without having to attend a formal class if that is possible. From what I have read from the Great Ones it seems very possible.

The various programming languages are very confusing to say the least. Python, Perl,Lisp,C, C++,C#,Java and the whole lot of them but right now i am trying to concentrate on Python and Lisp. Who knows maybe I might even get to be good at the in this very near future.

The thing that I am lacking is books and where to source on Open Source software coz as i have found out Windows XP doesnt understand anything written in Python.

If there is someone out there who can tell me where i can find this stuff in this country of ours called Kenya I would very much appreciate.

Wish me luck guys
