As part of my foray into systems analysis I learned a few programming languages, some old and some new.
One language I never got around to was C++, and if any are interested I found this brilliant series of YouTube videos that delve into the realms of C++.
The early videos are really, really simplified. So if you're already familiar with the principles and terminology of programming you may want to skip a few videos.
Just be a nutter... life becomes much more exciting, and people won't expect anything more of you...
I've learnt a few languages from uni, I quite enjoy programming from time to time, particularly the problem solving aspect.
VB is still the one for me though, making a macro which does your work for you, and then don't tell anyone you've done it. Frees up a lot of browsing time at work!
