Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years

[Prasad MNR]

Hi all,
I agree with most of you that the posting was not relevent to linux and as
old as 2001. Being old doesn't mean that every one has gone through the
website. I found it interesting and felt it was worth to share. Anyhow now I
realise that I have annoyed many. This is a techincal post list and I
respect that. Careful would be my thought when posting again.

Thank you guys for all that flame...It reminds me of Blaze of glory by Bon
jovi.
