Basically, when I was a teenager I taught myself HTML/CSS, did some low-quality podcasting and blogging with friends, read tech and startup news constantly and did some freelance web design. Then, I went to college across the country, lost touch with my tech friends, studied political science and then business administration, and I've been completely out of the loop letting what limited skills I do have get rusty. So, what is your advice for me (and for anyone else in a similar position, who either has no tech skills or who has rusty, very rudimentary ones) to get up to speed?
Super broad question, so any kind of feedback is welcome. Programming languages to learn, a book to read, a blog I should have in my reader, anything.
