Mouse:I have seen these books! (for programming) and even had some classes, he-he. I don't know, maybe because there was always someone who was faster-better than me with writing programs, and the level I was did not give me much positive emotions about all that things - so I never considered it as something interesting.
I think it is not late to start studying programming for anybody with analytical mind though, but as I remember my student life - the "hackers" were helping each other a lot by sharing the idea they have, algorithms they knew from someone else, they were very educational environment for each other. Without all this it is difficult to keep on adoring programming, imo. But maybe some friendly forums can play this role for someone who is not at school or club where everyone is into it.
Yikes. I may not be able to master this, but it will be fun to try. I will look into those forums. Thank you, Mouse. :)
Maybe I just could just buy these gadgets. Or even better, get a sidekick who can do this stuff. Anyone want to hunt treasure/fight crime/etc.? We could wear capes....
