I'm in a pretty tricky situation, thus I need help from some really helpful TechSpot-members.
Situation: I'm about to graduate from (my equivalent of) High School, and I'll keep studying (at university level) for 5 more years. Thing is, I want to work at a company which requires "an advanced knowledge" in the following programming languages / system oriented languages:
C++, UNIX, PERL.
So I have about 5 years on my hands, can any fellow TechSpot-member share his/her experience in learning any of these programming languages?
Will it take more than 5 years for me to become really good with those?
I have some knowledge regarding C#, .bat-prompt, (X)HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Are these languages much different from the ones stated above?
I know the history of UNIX, and I have a version of the latest Ubuntu Linux installed on my PC. But I have never even written a single command in a UNIX-environment. As goes for PERL, truth is: I have no clue what even PERL is.
So all in all, could it be possible for me to become (roughly) advanced within these languages/environments in 5 years?
Any tips?
