I regularly read Twitter posts of industry experts. Lesley Carhart (hacks4pancakes) posted about how she found your "secret" dating profile. I read that article. I saw some older posts on her site about how to start in the information security field. I suggest that anyone wanting to get into information security check out her blog.

I've decided to devote at least an hour a day to learning. I figure an hour a day adds up over time. In a year, that's 365 hours, and it doesn't seem to cut any time with the family, and work-time.
I'm still working through the Linux training. I'm a hands-on type learner, meaning that if I do enough labs, I can usually remember what to do.
I'm also doing C# training off of the Channel9 website. Bob Tabor has a series of videos about using C# in Visual Studio. It's much easier than my C course. We didn't use Visual Studio. My instructor made us hand write programs for our assignments and exams. She wanted to be absolutely certain that we learned how to do the programs. I will never forget a semi-colon. I won't forget documentation, either. Here's the website in case anyone else is interested in learning C#. If you've already learned a language or two, this may be too easy for you. Since it's been a while for me, I think it best that I start from the beginning.
