delicious programming

So I'm a science major trying to get into the health professions field, yet I have a thing for programming.

I started off by learning sepples but then quit after I heard about how much bloat exists on that language. I switched over to C and read K&R C. I read some other books that deal with data structures and stuff, so I think I have an adequate grasp of the language and basic programming concepts. How do I apply this knowledge?

I'm not a computer science major or anything IT related, but are some fields I can join to exercise this hobby of mine? Should I try assembly next and maybe do some inline assembly code? But even then, how can I apply this knowledge?

Is network programming any good? Or how about open source stuff?
Help me /prog/

You should really link the videos.

Computer science, using lisp as the 'medium' of explanation. ALL VIDEOS! Hoorah for not being a good reader.

I've watched over half of em, feels good man.
