However, I like to program and would like to move my career in that direction. A lot of the Coursera and EdX deep classes require C or Java (yuck!) for things like algorithms. <br><br></div>I passed a C class a couple decades ago and can nominally read it. Lately I've been programming Ruby. As much as I disparaged it before, I'm starting to find Ruby fun. Just, well, fun. C is powerful, but I didn't have as much fun with it or Python. Haven't had this much fun coding since PHP. <br><br></div>Maybe I'm a sucker for languages OS people disdain? The only real issue is that I'd like to start moving my career this way but I'm old enough and experienced enough to know that a salary comparable job based on my meager coding skills would be difficult. <br><br></div>Any ideas on how to leverage a Linux and large datacenter centric career into something with non-C coding?<br><br></div>Leam<br><br clear="all"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div><a href="http://leamhall.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Mind on a Mission</a></div></div>
