I've been reading slashdot for about a year now, and I love it. I know html coding. I know that that does not make me a geek, but I cannot find anything real that I could do with any of the other languages. I know that C C+ and C++ can be used to create a MUD, but that is all the use I know for it. With java and perl, pretty pictures,moving text, and cgi. Maybe if there were more on what all the languages can do? I have always been rather slow at math, but all of the computer languages I have seen and tried through tutorials on the web have been really easy for me to pick up on. If ppl spoke about languages, instead of mathematical code, and there were more examples of what the different languages do, maybe more people, including women, would join the geekhood?
