Learning about kernels

Hey /prog/ thought this would be the place to ask. I want to learn from the ground up, low level programming. I thought the first to thing to know would be kernels, then assembly, thenC/C++/java/perl, and lastly scripting. Would I just need to wiki kernels to learn about them, or a book, some source on the web? Help!

I'm 16 so university is out of the question, I just plan on being a computer whiz so I can get the ladies. Jokes aside I wish to learn "hacking" though I wouldn't present this in my first post because you all wouldn't take me seriously ;_; Anyways thanks! I guess I need to learn asm/C first.
