Hello an enjoy your stay. Remember, you are more than just a number to us, user 810339.
At the University of Minnesota they start you with Scheme.
Yes, you read that right. Scheme. The language guranteed to fuck you up if you've by some strange chance of fate actually programmed before getting to the school. Why a school, with over 50,000 people attending (second largest in the US now) and a fairly large IT department does that is beyond me. Oh wait... no it isn't. They need to employ their crazy AI professors who bust a nut using it.
Hell, I transfered into there as a CS junior and the still made me take the stupid class. (FUCK(SCHEME)) or something.

Welcome to Slashdot.
Just be careful with the words "first post!"
I had one for BASIC programming on my C64 and then AMIGA. It told me how to make a bunch of silly little games. It was useful in helping me understand more about computers but now I'm addicted to video games.....
Bah! 255 bytes ought to be enough for anybody.
