Hacks4Pancake Blog/My Learning Goal

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.
