I guess I consider myself somewhat savvy when it comes to computers but what all should I know before I attempt to teach myself computer programming?

My firefox used to open a new tab within the window when I wanted to navigate to a new website. A small child got hold of my computer pressed a bunch of keys, and now firefox no longer uses the tabs – when I attempt to go to a new page, it completely navigates away from the current page. Anyone know how to fix this? I know there has to be a way, I just can’t seem to find it.

Is it required to know windows programming before one can begin game programming with DirectX?

I’ve seen some code written for Windows-based applications, and it is very different from what I’ve learned in C++ textbooks. I guess windows programming itself is very different from console applications.

Anyway, I want to get up to speed with DirectX, but I am not familiar with windows programming. Do I need to learn windows programming before I can even attempt to work with DirectX?

I am a sophomore computer science major currently hoping to find a job in programming when I get out of school. I know that, these days, a simple degree will likely not be sufficient to find a steady job, and that I probably ought to graduate with internships and certifications completed. Does anyone have suggestions as to which certifications would be most helpful and would look best on a resume? Also, in which order should I attempt to master these languages? My school’s program has started us in Java.
