    Hello TimoElPrimo.

    There are lots and lots of programming websites with all the latest news and information.
    What languages are you interested in or is it just programming in general?

    If you want to read up on all the latest Java information, check out the Oracle website: Oracle and Java | Technologies
    Please use [highlight=Java] code [/highlight] tags when posting your code.

    I been reading around about what a programmer should know and found tips about work experience.(no where near that point)
    Most intresting topic I read was "You live or die by your text editor, so choose wisely".
    I am currently using Netbeans. Is it good? or does it make me a weaker programmer? or should i get familiar with a different text editor?

    Should I concentrate on one programming language? does it even matter?
