I ant to learn to code. I don't know where to start! I did some Basic, PASCAL, C/C++ at school/college, but never kept going with it. I've read some books on Ruby, Python, Haskell, Javascript but don't know where to start to learn "properly". I know the answer to the question "which language?" is "whichever solves the current problem best!", but where does one start? Do I just pick which one I like the look of best? IS there even a best place to start? Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

So, seems to me that Facebooks new 'Social Inbox' is just the same as wave. A single stream of mixed source content. REALLY? Besides which, do we really want to give Facebook MORE of our data? It seems that Facebook want to build their own internet, their aspiration is to be the single place you visit, regardless of what you want to do on the web. Don't get me wrong, it's not necessarily a bad idea, just a little scary!

Is facebook getting too big? Is Facebook's domination a little scary? Is Zuck a little bit evil? ;)
