“This is the third installment of an ongoing series covering
programming topics for the beginning programmer. If you have been
programming in a UNIX environment for a long time, you most likely
already know a great deal of this. Otherwise, read on.”
“…There are other languages out there for starting, but I

recommended Ada or Pascal. I definitely do not agree with
Pascal as a starter language–or for anything actually and I have
never used ADA so naturally I cannot recommend it either.”
