I wouldn't say I'm a tech noob and is usually more knowledgable than most people in technology, but every time I try to study more about technology or etc. I always face jargon and discouragement in general? What do you think is a good place to get started? Like a book or perhaps just a starting point.
I can do some easy programming up to some really basic guis and I can do a bit of Java, HTML, Python, C++, and Javascript.
I am trying to learn about UNIX programming and my goal is to try and work on open source projects in my free time because I am always impressed at the work the people do for others and I always wanted to do the same.
I am (shamefully) running a mac because my school requires it.
Any thoughts or comments are appreciated :)
