Opinions from Professional Programmers, please

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to figure out exactly where to start when it comes to learning programming. I'm a savvy network guy with lots of; success, practical experience and theory. My success was paid in blood/sweat/tears and my theory was ~95% self-study. Can someone help fast-track me by means of recommending the best [study] resources and/or free OnLine classes?

Reason why, is b/c I have an opportunity to be involved in a web development project. I also want to learn how to write basic scripts for my routers and switches too. All-in-all, I know; desktop/server support, pre/post sale switching and internetworking. The main thing I've been lacking for some time now, has been programming...

Thanks in advance

Your goal is vague. What programming/scripting language is the web dev project based? You might do best to post in the forum for that technology. Your post does not make any indication that it involves a content management system.

Hi spamjim,
Yes, I agree it's vague (apparently I respond to threads better than I do creating them). It actually wasn't intended for this category.
