How start programming in an open source project?

I have a bachelor’s in Computer Science but have not used my programming knowledge/experience in the last couple of years. I want to re-sharpen my skills and think participating in some open source projects would help and be very interesting; but I really don’t know where to start.

– do I just find a project I want to help with? (where do I find one)
– is there a community for each project that I need to present myself to?
– if there is a project I’d like to help with, where do I begin?
– where can I help smaller projects and warm up?

I hope you get the gist of this question, any guidance would be GREATLY appreciated.

thanks,

How does one get a job in programming?

I want to get into programming but am unsure where to start. I already have a Bachelor’s (two actually) and don’t really want to fork up the money for more education (and would like to learn on my own); now that I’m OLDer, I have more discipline to study but need some help in how to go about this. More detailed questions are:

1. What programming languages should I study?
2. How do I gain programming experience so that I can build up my resume (in order to obtain a job that requires experience)?
3. Do you know of any good books I can buy to start in programming?

Thanks!

What can I do with a computer science degree besides programming?

I know this is the programming section, but maybe some of you can answer this.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in computer science. What can I do that isn’t strictly programming or software development (it can involve some programming, but not where 100% of your work is coding)? Also what can I do that’s outside of the IT industry? And what would I need to have or learn besides my degree to get there?
