programming basics, iPhone app development, and pretty much anything along those lines. I'm considering a trade school for IT or programming upon release.

The downside is that without a computer to practice with, a lot of programming books will be pretty useless. Still...

You need to learn a linux shell. Use it for everything. I like Korn Shell, but BASH is a bit more common these days.

Python is a great scripting and "glue" language. It is available pre-installed on most linux platforms. This is my scripting language of choice.

Perl is the language that powers a stunningly large number of websites. And it is a good all round scripting and system administration automation language.

If you wanna learn programming, Thinking In Java is one of the best books to read:
http://mindview.net/Books/TIJ4


However, my sincere recommendation is reading the Law Of One material:
PDFs: http://www.llresearch.org/library/th...f_one_pdf.aspx
On-line: http://lawofone.info/
Hard Copies (book 1-5): http://store.bring4th.org/index.php?...page=1&sort=2d
It's unrelated to the topics you've asked for, but it's a valuable reading (although weird, I know)

Depending on your starting level, and learning style...the "Head First" series from ORiely are great. They have books on Programming (in general), Design Patterns (for Object Oriented languages), Java, HTML, and many others.

I was going to say the same thing. I understand its a bit off topic, but driving without a licence in my opinion isn't an offence worthy of jail time (very few are, I suppose).

This is rediculous. Can you not appeal it? I understand lawyers are expensive, but so is going to jail for half a year. A lawyer is probably less expensive considering most would take payments on a monthly basis.

What is wrong with the world when a millionaire can steal millions and get nothing, but if I stole $1000 to buy food for me and my family, or drove a car without a licence I'd be locked up and treated as a dangerous criminal.

I guess thats what happens when right wing idiots start making laws. "Just let anyone have guns, don't help anyone who is poor, and lock up everyone who smokes a joint because they are obviously going to rape and murder my good christian family".

sorry folks,
