In this inaugural episode of Programming By Stealth, computer scientist and linux system admin Bart Busschots explains what his approach is going to be on teaching us to program. He plans to emphasize methods and concepts while teaching us specific languages along the way. As he says, "The tool you happen to use most today is unlikely to be the one you use most a decade from now." Bart has over 20 years of programming in X86 Assembler, BASIC, C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Perl, PHP, BASH, Lisp, Maple, Matlab, and more. We don't know how long this series will go, hence the "of X" in the title.
