It strikes me as odd that you've been noodling for 6 years an idea that needs programmers to implement, but you haven't become a programmer yourself in all that time. Do you have any idea how many "Learn X in 21 Days" books you can read in

mostly CYA, because I can't remember all of it anymore. I do remember thinking "we'll do it a little differently than it says". There wasn't anything in the book that I can recall that I thought was completely wrong, though.

Yeah, that's the one. Obviously not in all-caps (I still don't think he helped himself much by posting). Maybe the name submitted in the form ("FEDERAL SUPPLIERS GUIDE CUSTOMER SUPPORT") is what created the impression in my mind that he w

I bought a cheap set of picks and got a copy of the "MIT Guide to Lockpicking" and tried to get into it. It was kinda fun at first, but I never had much success. How long do you have to work at it before obtaining any proficiency? All I

SCons, for sure, is the way to go. I use Emacs/c-scope as my editing environment, and keep a browser and terminal (man pages) open for API reference (dinkumware.com is a good one. They have full C99 an stdc++ library documentation) Defini

buy stuff (digikey, propeller, old x86 boxen, Freescale samples + PCB kits, whatever) and start hacking, and find some good IRC channels to hang out on. I won't tell you which ones, because I don't want them to get crowded... :)
