Learning how to program software seems like a daunting task fit
only for the geeks and nerds who lock themselves away in dark
rooms staring at their monitors for days on end as they pour
over thick manuals written largely in zeros and ones.
Fortunately the reality is that it's not as complicated to make
basic applications as people may think. If it were, the majority

end of learning. However, learning only the software side, and
knowing nothing about the hardware side, can open you up to some
costly times at the shop.
When I was selling peripherals, I happen to ask my immediate
supervisor how he would go about learning the hardware side of
computers. He looked at me and flatly stated, 'Like I did --
learn by doing ' build a computer from ...

Muitos papas da área de tecnologia estão pregando que o software
livre será a solução dos problemas brasileiros. O mundo inteiro
está se voltando para o software livre como se fosse a uma nova
religião, onde tudo que está fora disso é coisa de hereges,
dignos de serem jogados na fogueira.
Precisamos ter o cuidado com as definições impostas, engolidas e
digeridas como alimento santo. O Software Livre não é TÃO livre
