starting programming

Name: Anonymous 2007-11-20 19:14

i've taken a passionate interest in programming and yet i'm having trouble getting started. i've learned quite a bit of basic C# (written a half-done Notepad clone, an email spammer, and an IRC bot) but now i'm stuck. i'm also taking a java class in which i learn noting because of the slow pace and outrageous similarity to C#.

1. what kind of programs should a beginner try making to further his/her skills without overwhelming him/her self?
2. should i continue to program C# and java until i've mastered them, or should i take the time for c/c++ right away.
3. what sort of goals should a programmer keep in mind from the start?

Lisp and SICP are important because they'll help you reach SATORI and become an EXPERT PROGRAMMER. Yes, this is relevant to the topic and not just my way of saying "I've read SICP."

Anything .NET fails harder than Java.
