That's going to change today ! >=20 Still with my old-guy hat on, I can tell what I do in these cases: after a = couple of "hello world"s, I take a project that is of medium complexity and= fun :-) and I develop it. For example, when I learnt Ada I wrote a packag= e for computation with Galois fields and a generic package for computation = with matrices with entries in a ring (if this is fun it is a matter of tast= es, but never mind...). Because of the inexperience, the resulting code wa= s not the best code in the world, but nevertheless helped me in learning. > All the best-Patrick
