getting started

[Rick Saul]

Hi,

I would like to do some development also 
but don't know where to start. I know 
some Java, C and C++, Java being my 
favorite. Only real programming job I've 
had was Oracle report writing in 
Financials, but did some Java wrapped in 
PL/SQL for Workflow APIs. I like using 
Netbeans for a Java IDE, nice debugger. 
I also like translating a programs from 
one language to another.  I would like 
to learn Python also because of it's use 
in games.
