As a first exposure to a new programming language it is just as scary as it seems. Many new things that I have never used or actually heard of when it comes to C/C++ programming. The first programming I have ever done was last semester and it was with java and that was not fun at first but once you are around it enough it starts making a little more sense and that is how I hope this class will become to me. New programming languages are not only useful, but they are fascinating to learn how many different things you can do with them. Not only am I learning a new language, I am starting to learn the many things about lab 46 and the lair as it is my first time using either one of those. This semester is going to very different to me, but I know once I get the hang of how things work it will be just as enjoyable and interesting as my other classes.

So this UNIX/Linux stuff is all completely new to me as I have only read about it in a few books and the internet. It is not very easy for me to do the simple things yet, but it is just going to take some time before I can use it to its full benefits. We did “little” things like set up emails, our accounts, and learned a few simple commands to work our way around the operating system and although they were merely small tasks, they were not very easy for me and I am sure others. I have been a windows user my entire life and now I know that all this pointing and clicking stuff has a bigger meaning when I switch over to a computer in the lair. The only challenges I have right now is the inexperience I have with the UNIX/Linux system, but I am sure that with time those problems will be dealt with and new, more complicated problems will arise. It is good to be learning something brand new doing things that I have done before to see how it works on multiple different systems.
